Playing career

Hickey was drafted 30th overall by the New York Rangers in the 1973 NHL Amateur Draft. His nickname was "Hitch". He played 646 career NHL games, scoring 192 goals and 212 assists for 404 points. Hickey was a popular player during his time with the NY Rangers. In 1978, when the Rangers acquired Swedish stars Anders Hedberg and Ulf Nilsson from the WHA's Winnipeg Jets, Hickey was selected to play on a line with them in part because of his speed and scoring ability.

Hickey would later be part of a high scoring line in Toronto, along with Rick Vaive and Bill Derlago.
