BREAKING: One of the top Bruins prospects is stepping away from hockey
Cole Spicer, who, at just 20 years old, has decided to step away from hockey indefinitely due to personal and mental health issues.
Spicer, drafted 117th overall in 2022, had shown promise playing for the University of Minnesota-Duluth, contributing five goals and four assists in 17 games last season.
His decision to leave the sport has garnered an outpouring of support from fans, emphasizing the seriousness of mental health challenges and offering encouragement for Spicer's future. The Bruins organization, which had high hopes for Spicer's development, undoubtedly supports his decision to prioritize his well-being.
While Spicer's immediate hockey future is uncertain, the widespread support from fans and the Bruins community may be a source of strength as he navigates this challenging period. Many hope Spicer will eventually rediscover his passion for the game and make a successful return when he's ready.
