Pack 16 in, folks. You’re never gonna see another player wear it again.

The Bruins just announced that they will be retiring All-time Bruins Great Rick Middleton’s number on November 29th, before their game against the New York Islanders. He will be the 11th player to be honored by the Bruins in this manner:

Rick came to the team in 1976 from a trade with the Rangers, and was almost immediately a force for good as he practically exploded as a goal scorer from then on, culminating in the 1983-84 season where he had a neat 105 points in 80 games.
