Grande Prairie’s Schael Higson played his final Junior hockey game Tuesday night.

The veteran blue liner and his Kelowna Rocket squad fell 5-1 in the tie-breaker game in Kamloops which means the club will not be moving on to the post-season.

Higson has played quite a bit of hockey over his WHL career.

In total, the defenceman played 311 regular season games between the Saskatoon Blades, Brandon Wheat Kings and Kelowna Rockets.
