Thomas Hickey Rushes Home To See Dying Brother One Last Time.


Thomas Hickey hasn’t had an optimal season, but perhaps we may have some indication as to why this may be. His brother was diagnosed with cancer in September 2018, and it seems that his treatment was not responsive.

Earlier this month, Hickey revealed that his brother Dan had an aggressive form of cancer. His brother is only 33 and has glioblastoma, which is a form of brain tumor. Arthur Staple of the Athletic announced that Hickey had left the team on Tuesday for personal reasons. This was confined by head coach Barry Trotz.


We are keeping the Hickey family in our thoughts and prayers at this time.
