Novick served with the 29th Infantry Division during WWII and was stationed in England in 1943 and 1944. Corporal Novick was discharged in August 1945 and despite having missed four complete seasons of professional baseball, he decided to continue to pursue a career in the game. In 1946 he made a brief appearance with Louisville in the American Association and Utica in the Eastern League before settling down at Lancaster in the Inter-State League. Novick hit .325 in 98 games with Lancaster in 1947 and then headed to the Western League for a two-year stint with Lincoln.
