===Professional=== Brickley was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers with the last overall pick in the 1980 NHL entry draft, eventually becoming the second player (after Gerry Meehan) to play in the NHL after being drafted last overall. Brickley made his first apperearance with the Flyers during the 1982–83 season.
In October 1983, the Flyers traded Brickley to the Pittsburgh Penguins along with Ron Flockhart, Mark Taylor, and two 1984 draft picks, in exchange for Rich Sutter and two 1984 draft picks.<ref name="HockeyDB"/> Brickley played a total of 95 games for the Penguins over two seasons, totaling 25 goals and 35 assists.<ref name="HockeyRef">{{cite web|url=https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/b/brickan01.html|title=Andy Brickley Statistics — Hockey-Reference.com|access-date=2008-04-24|publisher=Sports Reference LLC}}</ref> He was briefly demoted to the Baltimore Skipjacks of the American Hockey League (AHL) after he was caught breaking curfew with teammate Mike Bullard in Montreal.<ref>{{cite news|title=Gunners with 50 no longer a rarity|work=Globe and Mail|date=1984-03-21}}</ref>
The New Jersey Devils acquired Brickley in 1985 and sent him to the Maine Mariners for the 1985–86 season.

Brickley played in 71 games with the Bruins in the 1988–89 NHL season, garnering 13 goals and 22 assists.<ref name="HockeyRef"/> In addition to his natural position at left wing, he played center and right wing frequently, filling in any position needed by Bruins coach Terry O'Reilly, a trend that continued the following season under Mike Milbury. On December 5, 1988, Brickley took another puck off his face, this time receiving credit for a goal after a Ray Bourque slapshot bounced off his face and into the goal. The injury required five stitches.<ref name="Borges"/>
Brickley was on his way to the best season of his career in 1989–90 before being struck down by injuries. He scored his first goal of the season on October 26, 1989, against the Quebec Nordiques. On November 18, he collected his first career hat trick against the Devils, his former team. Brickley said of the occasion, "Whenever I can score against New Jersey, it is that much sweeter...I wanted to show them they made a mistake."<ref>{{cite news|last=Harber|first=Paul|title=Brickley made Devils say Uncle|date=1989-11-19|publisher=The Boston Globe}}</ref> Just days later, Brickley suffered an injury that severely hindered his ability to walk.<ref>{{cite news|last=Rosa|first=Francis|title=Brickley suffers injury|date=1989-11-21|publisher=The Boston Globe}}</ref> In January, he pulled a muscle in his thigh and missed a week's worth of games.<ref>{{cite news|last=DuPont|first=Kevin Paul|title=Brickley will remain on sideline tonight|date=1990-01-29|publisher=The Boston Globe}}</ref> Forty-three games into the season, after totalling a career-high 40 points, Brickley was sidelined yet again when doctors discovered that a muscle in his right leg was calcifying, a condition known as myositis ossificans (a condition which would later afflict Brickey's teammate Cam Neely). <ref>{{cite news|last=DuPont|first=Kevin Paul|title=For Brickley, just a scare; Doctors say it's calcium buildup, not tumor, in his leg|date=1990-03-04|publisher=The Boston Globe}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Loewen|first=Gary|title=Brickley's hopes for playoffs dashed by groin surgery date|date=1990-05-16|publisher=The Globe and Mail}}</ref> Despite the injury and extended time out of action, Brickley played briefly in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final.<ref>{{cite news|last=Allen|first=Kevin|title=Player endures 'needles, knives' to fulfill boyhood NHL dream|date=1990-05-23|publisher=The Boston Globe}}</ref>
