Born in Ottawa, Ontario, Rickey began his professional career in the 1911–12 season with the Saskatoon Wholesalers of the Saskatchewan Professional League. Rickey joined the Seattle Metropolitans in 1915, played eight seasons for the Metropolitans, and was a member of the 1917 Stanley Cup champions. He also played in the 1919 Stanley Cup Finals with the Metropolitans, but the series against the Montreal Canadiens was cancelled at 2-2 because of the Spanish flu. Rickey himself was at the Providence Hospital in Seattle with a high fever. In 1924, Rickey joined the Edmonton Eskimos. In 1925, his contract was sold by the Eskimos to the New York Americans, but he did not join the team. After the Western Canada Hockey League folded in 1926, Rickey played in the Can-Pro League, playing two further seasons for Hamilton and Niagara Falls before retiring from professional play.
