Nickerson signed a three-year entry level contract before playing in Victoriaville.

Due to the NHL lockout, he was sent to the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's Victoriaville Tigres, and finally turned pro in the Finnish SM-liiga, playing with Ässät.

In his first season with Ässät, Nickerson broke the league record for penalty minutes in the regular season, with 236 total.

He was assessed a match penalty for fighting in October 2005, and was suspended for three games for fighting and unsportsmanlike conduct on November 2, 2005.

2006

He earned a 16-game suspension during his 12 games in Idaho.

After a season in North America, Nickerson returned to Pori and joined Ässät for the second time in his career.

2007

On October 20, 2007, he was suspended for three games for attacking TPS forward Teemu Laine.

Playing 45 games in his first season he was an integral part in the run to the EIHL playoff semi final game where Fife lost to Belfast by 1-0.

His unending desire to stand up for his team mates earned great respect from the Fife support although he did draw the attention of the EIHL referees and in December 2013 he was handed a 12-game suspension (which was reduced upon appeal) for a fight during a game against the Braehead Clan.

As part of the Fife Flyers community outreach program Nickerson and team mates visited the children's hospice in Kinross operated by C.H.A.S. Touched by the work carried out by the charity Nickerson offered to let fans shave off his impressive trademark beard to raise money for the hospice.
