Bryan Bickell hints at possible retirement in tearful interview

Bryan Bickell has put an incredible amount of work into getting back on the ice with the Hurricanes since he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. It’s been inspirational to see what he has done to finish his career on a high note, even after it was derailed by health issues that began way back in 2015.

But now it appears Bickell might be getting ready to call it quits, if this interview posted by the Hurricanes’ Twitter on Friday is any indications. Trying to fight through tears to answer questions, Bickell says, “I haven’t told my teammates yet,” giving an indication that he’s getting ready to reveal his future plans.
