Hicke played the position of right wing for the Regina Pats from 1954 to 1958, the Montreal Canadiens from 1958 to 1965 (with stints for the AHL's Rochester Americans during the 1958-59 and 1959-60 seasons, and the Cleveland Barons during 1964-65), the New York Rangers from 1964 to 1967 (with stints for the Minnesota Rangers in 1965-66 and the Baltimore Clippers in 1966-67), the Oakland/California Seals from 1967 to 1971, and the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1971.
