KAMLOOPS — Joe Hicketts hockey season isn’t over just yet.

The Detroit Red Wings have assigned Hicketts to their Grand Rapids Griffins farm team in the American Hockey League.

Hicketts season with the Victoria Royals ended last week in a game seven loss to the Kelowna Rockets.

The 20-year old Kamloops native will join Grand Rapids for game three of their first round playoff series, which the Griffins lead 2-0 in the best of five against the Milwaukee Admirals.
