Vancouver Canucks prospect Tristen Nielsen announces life-changing news
Vancouver Canucks prospect Tristen Nielsen has announced some life-changing news.
It's an important year for Vancouver Canucks prospect Tristen Nielsen. He's entering the final season of his two-year, entry-level contract which he signed with Vancouver back in July 2023 and it'll be his fourth campaign with the Canucks organization.
Before Nielsen heads to Vancouver for training camp in a couple weeks, he announced some life-changing news on social media. The Abbotsford Canucks' X account shared on Thursday that Tristen Nielsen proposed to his now fiancé, Sarah.
Congratulations to Tristen Nielsen and his fiancé, Sarah, on their engagement!" The Abbotsford Canucks said.
Last season, which was the first of his entry-level contract, Nielsen continued his strong play, registering 34 points (16 goals, 18 assists), 52 penalty minutes and was a minus-14 in 59 games. He went on to add four assists in six games during the Calder Cup Playoffs.
With it being a contract year for Nielsen, he'll need to prove to the Canucks organization that he's worthy of an extension and if he's able to play well to start the year, he could put himself in a good position to be one of the first call-ups from Abbotsford, if an injury occurs on the blueline.
