Hicketts preparing for second pro hockey season
KAMLOOPS — 2017 has been a magical year for Joe Hicketts.
He was part of a Calder Cup championship team with the Grand Rapids Griffins, a team that benefitted from a rare playoff absence by the Detroit Red Wings — the first time since 1990.
“It didn’t seem to matter who was playing with who or who got called up to Detroit, we seemed to gel really well, and that’s a credit to the leadership group that we had there in Grand Rapids,” said Hicketts.
