Academic Challenges Halt Spicer's Hockey Progress
In a surprising turn of events, Cole Spicer, a promising player in the Boston Bruins organization, finds his current hockey season prematurely ended. The reason? Academic struggles that have rendered him ineligible to participate in the remainder of the 2023-24 NCAA hockey season.
According to recent updates, Spicer, who had been showcasing his skills impressively in the season, fell short of the NCAA's academic requirements. Student-athletes are required to maintain a minimum GPA of 2.3 in their core subjects. Unfortunately, Spicer's academic performance did not align with this criterion, resulting in a significant setback in his athletic journey.
