Unfortunate News Strikes Boston Bruins Top Prospect
In a setback for the promising career of Boston Bruins top prospect Cole Spicer, tragedy has struck as academic ineligibility sidelines the young talent for the rest of the season while playing for Minnesota-Duluth.
#NHLBruins prospect Cole Spicer (#27 on Bruins Benders Top 30) is academically ineligible at Minnesota-Duluth and out for the remainder of the season. 5-4-9 in 17 games for the 19-year-old who was a 2022 4th round pick.
Spicer, a 2022 4th round pick, had been making strides, showcasing his potential with an impressive record of 5 goals, 4 assists, and 9 points in 17 games at just 19 years old.
As Spicer navigates this unforeseen challenge, there are discussions about potential paths forward for him in hockey.
Sounds like Spicer will have to take another route for hockey. There are options, but I'm not sure the Bruins will reward him with a contract.
Options:
WHL
Overseas
Back to USHL
AHL Providence (would have to sign)
ECHL Maine (would have to sign)
