Spicer, who was drafted 117th overall by the Bruins in 2022, has been struggling with personal and mental health issues. These challenges have led to the 20 year-old's academic ineligibility at the University of Minnesota-Duluth for the upcoming season. In response, Spicer announced he's stepping away from hockey to focus on his personal life.
