Ales Hemsky scored his 1st career NHL hattrick with the Edmonton Oilers on March 20th 2012 in Nashville. And during the lockout, he played for his home team back in Czech Republic, he scored his 1st hattrick in the Czech Extraliga on November 4th 2012. His 1st ever hattrick tho, i think, was in an annual oilers Joey moss cup thing a couple years back, not sure.
