“They have a lot of highly skilled players but it’s still a pretty young team, so for that team to go where they want to go, Brandon is going to really be called upon to provide leadership and drive that group and be a top matchup guy and shutdown top guys,” said Flames player development coach Ray Edwards, who keeps close tabs on Calgary’s up-and-comers in the NCAA ranks and was especially impressed with Hickey’s performance for a shorthanded Terriers squad during the world junior tourney.
“I watched them play Union College, which is a heck of a team, and they beat them in overtime without six of their best players. Brandon played a big role in that. So I can see him elevating already, and that’s what he is going to have to do to be a leader on that team and to be a guy that coach (David) Quinn can count on as a top matchup guy and a top PK guy, which he is.”
