Dave Hickey

Dave Hickey was one of the premier kickers in New England for the Bears from 1977-80. He was a punter and place-kicker for Bridgewater those four seasons. He holds BSC records for most punts in a season (69, 1978) and career (251). He also holds the record for punting yards in a season (2430, 1980) and career (8860 yds). His punting in 1980 was a major weapon for a defense that allowed only 61 points all season, another BSC record. He was named to the NEFC All Star team in 1979 and the NEFC and ECAC All Star teams in 1980. Dave, his wife Margaret and son Daniel live in Hanson, MA where Dave is a professional carpenter.
