Summary
Nick Cicek brought veteran grit and leadership to the Calgary Wranglers this past season, playing in 70 games, setting personal records with seven goals and 119 penalty minutes, while mentoring younger defensemen and leading by example. Though he didn’t get an NHL call-up, he remained focused on his dream, proud to wear a letter and committed to his grind. Now a pending UFA, his energy and mentorship made him invaluable — and a return to Calgary could be a win-win for both him and the team.
