Hickey joined the Rangers for the 1975–76 NHL season. A popular player during his time in New York, he skated on a line with Swedish stars Anders Hedberg and Ulf Nilsson, in part because of his speed and scoring ability.

In Toronto, he was part of a high-scoring line alongside Rick Vaive and Bill Derlago.
