#9 Rick Middleton
Rick Middleton was traded to the Boston Bruins by the New York Rangers for Ken Hodge at the end of the 1975-76 season. Middleton scored a hat trick for the Bruins in his very first game. He tallied nearly nine hundred points over the next twelve seasons for the Black and Gold. Middleton had five straight seasons of forty-plus goals and ninety-plus points for the B’s. When Terry O’ Reilly retired from playing, he and Ray Bourque were named co-captains for the team until his retirement.
