Boston Bruins prospect Cole Spicer's promising hockey career faces uncertainty after being kicked out of school. Due to personal and mental issues, Spicer was deemed academically ineligible to play for the University of Minnesota-Duluth (UMD) next year.
Consequently, the 20-year-old announced he needed to step away from hockey to address his personal life. Drafted 117th overall by Boston in 2022, Spicer scored five goals and four assists in 17 games for UMD last season.
Fans have shown support online, highlighting the seriousness of mental illness and hoping for his eventual return to the game. The Bruins share this hope, wishing for his successful comeback.
