Boston Bruins Rick Middleton (HD)

THE MAGICIAN: Brilliantly talented and skilled hockey player; a consummate professional and a class act. Rick played a relatively straightforward game of hockey, but he didn't need to drop his gloves to capture fans' attention. Much in the way legendary Ray Bourque captivated an audience with skill, speed and style, Rick brought to the ice a similar kind of magic that we still recognize, appreciate, and respect today.

Indeed, Rick was amazing. Thanks for watching; glad you liked it.

@goalscr12 Agreed. He should be in the Hall of Fame and #16 should be hanging in the Boston Garden rafters.

One of Harry Sinden's best trades.. an aging Ken Hodge for a young Rick Middleton, one of the greatest shifty playmaker/scorers in the NHL.. and one of the best nicknames ever.. Nifty Middleton.. a great Bruin

he always had puck in shooting position...goalie was alway frozen as a result

Great video Ricky was a awesome player Shame he never won a Stanley Cup and he should be in the H.O.F.

Great highlight. I had the pleasure of skating with him before camp opened his last year with the B's. What a gentleman.
