One Fort St.John product is off to the WHL’s Western Conference Final while another had their Junior hockey career come to an end.

Tristan Nielsen and the Vancouver Giants completed the four-game sweep of the Victoria Royals Thursday night with a 6-1 win to punch their ticket to the WHL’s final four.

Nielsen had an assist in the Game 4 win and has been a point per game contributor in the post-season with 3 goals and 7 assists.

On the other side of it, the Giants win means the Junior career for overage blueliner Ralph Jarratt has come to an end.
