Overall, the Bowmanville, Ontario, native has notched 5 goals, 6 points and 9 penalty minutes in 23 career regular-season games with the Blackhawks over parts of three seasons.

Taken in the third round of the 2004 Entry Draft, Bickell ranked fifth on the American Hockey League’s Rockford IceHogs with 16 goals and collected 31 points and 58 penalty minutes in 65 regular-season tilts during the campaign. He has appeared in 228 career AHL regular-season contests with the Norfolk Admirals (2006-07) and IceHogs (2007-10) since turning pro in 2006, registering 51 goals, 58 assists, 109 points and 236 penalty minutes.
