Bill Hicke

William Lawrence Hicke (March 31, 1938 – July 18, 2005) was a Canadian professional ice hockey right winger who played 14 seasons in the National Hockey League. A native of Regina, Saskatchewan, Hicke began his career in junior hockey with the Regina Pats of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League from 1954 to 1958, reaching the Memorial Cup final as runners-up in three of those years.

Hicke joined the Montreal Canadiens in 1958 and remained with the organization through 1965, with stints for Montreal's American Hockey League affiliates, the Rochester Americans during the 1958–59 and 1959–60 seasons and the Cleveland Barons in 1964–65. With Montreal he won the Stanley Cup in 1959 and 1960. Traded to the New York Rangers in 1964, he had stints with the Minnesota Rangers in 1965–66 and the Baltimore Clippers in 1966–67 while remaining a Rangers product, until he was drafted by the Oakland Seals in the 1967 NHL Expansion Draft. Hicke played for the Seals, later the California Golden Seals, until a 1971 trade to the Pittsburgh Penguins. In November 1971 he was traded to the Detroit Red Wings but never played for them. His younger brother is Ernie Hicke.
