Justin Szeto’s eight-point weekend helped the Northwest Giants keep pace with the Okanagan Rockets in B.C. major midget hockey.

Szeto assisted on half of the Giants’ goals in a 10-0 win over the Thompson Blazers at Hollyburn Country Club on Saturday.

The second-year Burnaby skater also had a goal and two helpers in Sunday’s 6-2 win, boosting Szeto’s league-leading assist total to 49.

Quinn Thompson helped out with a hattrick in the opening game and three more points, including his 25th goal of the season in the later game.

The Giants finish off the regular season with a two-game set in Prince George this weekend.
