It was revealed that Boston Bruins prospect Cole Spicer will miss the rest of the season due to academic ineligibility. The 19-year-old forward, selected in the 4th round of the 2022 NHL draft, failed to meet the required GPA of 2.3 in his core courses at the University of Minnesota-Duluth.
Spicer has 5 goals and 4 assists for 9 points in 17 games. He's facing a major setback in this recent development and has taken a big hit on his reputation. The academic ineligibility raises questions about his future, with speculation suggesting potential reasons such as a preference for the CHL, dissatisfaction with college life or coaching, or a need for increased discipline and maturity.
