In 1947–48 after seven seasons with the Rangers and playing in the 1947 NHL All-Star Game, Warwick was traded to the Boston Bruins for Billy Taylor and future considerations.

After the gold medal victory, Warwick spent one more season with the Vees before moving on with the Trail Smoke Eaters of the Western International Hockey League.
