Promising Boston Bruins prospect faces career uncertainty after school expulsion
Boston Bruins' top prospect Cole Spicer faces expulsion from school, possibly marking the premature end of his hockey aspirations.
For the time being, Cole Spicer won't be pursuing a professional hockey career due to recent issues at his school. He's been grappling with personal and mental challenges, resulting in his academic ineligibility to play for UMD next year. In response to this setback, Spicer publicly disclosed he needed to step away from the game to focus on resolving matters in his personal life.
#Bruins 🇺🇸 forward prospect Cole Spicer (@colespicer_10) 🇺🇸 is done playing hockey for the "foreseeable future."
Spicer, a 20-year-old drafted 117th overall by Boston in 2022, played for the University of Minnesota-Duluth in the NCAA last season, scoring five goals and adding four assists in 17 games.
Support for Spicer has poured in from fans online, expressing well wishes and emphasizing the seriousness of mental illness.
Just a reminder to the fans on here
you never know what someone is going through and why they make the decisions they do. I doubt someone who spent their whole life playing hockey would make this choice easily
I hope @ColeSpicer_10 finds his love for the game again
Regardless of how Spicer's situation unfolds, it's clear he has the support of fans, which hopefully provides him with the strength for a potential comeback. The Bruins undoubtedly share in this hope.
