The Vancouver Giants were one of the top teams in the Western Hockey League during the regular season, and despite a bit of a scare in the opening round, they are off to round 2.

The Giants completed their 6 game series win over the Seattle Thunderbirds Saturday and Fort St.John’s Tristan Nielsen was a major reason why they are advancing to the 2nd round.

Nielsen, 18, registered 2 goals and 4 assists in the series win for the Giants.

This included finding the back of the net in the clinching game on Saturday.
