Originally drafted by the New York Rangers with the 14th Overall Pick in the 1973 NHL Draft, Slick Rick Middleton was a talented and skilled right winger in the NHL for 15 years. He spent the first couple years of his career with the Rangers before being traded to the Boston Bruins for Ken Hodge in what turned out to be one of the most lopsided trades in the history of league. Whereas Hodge would leave the NHL shortly after the trade, Middleton excelled on a talented Bruins squad, highlighted by a streak of five straight season in which he recorded at least 40 goals and 90 points. He had perhaps his best season in 1981-82 during that streak when he tallied a career high 51 goals. In addition to being a 3-time All-Star, Middleton also served as a Co-Captain for the Bruins for the last several years of his career and would also star on Team Canada during the Canada Cup. Middletons career came to an end in 1988, but not before he collected 448 goals and 540 assists for 988 points in 1005 games played. He was also just as effective in the Playoffs, putting up 100 points in 114 career Playoff games. This Boston Bruins NHL Puck is signed by Middleton and comes with a BC Sports Certificate of Authenticity.

The Fender Princeton Recording Amplifier brings back the classic sound of the ’60s Princeton reverb amp with a few modern features The Fender Princeton Reverb Amp of the 1960s, though small, light and moderately powerful, produced giant tube tone. In the 70s and beyond, it earned a rep as the quintessential studio recording amp, and original Princeton Reverb amps are highly sought after in todays vintage market as collectibles and as a wise choice for creating great tube tone in a small space. The new Princeton Recording Amp offers all of the great tone and dynamics of the original, plus several modern studio-friendly features. Its all-tube preamp, power amp and reverb circuitry is based on the classic 65 Princeton Reverb, and, with 20 watts and a 10 Jensen speaker, it provides spanking vintage tone and enough output for small gigs and rehearsals. The trans-impedance power attenuator lets you crank up the amp for full output tube overdrive and set the speaker volume as low as you want (even silent for headphone use)! Other features include two classic onboard stomp box effects (overdrive and compression), genuine tube-driven Fender spring reverb by Accutronics, headphone output, speaker emulated line output with level control and ground lift, speaker output jack (internal speaker may be disconnected for use with other 8-ohm enclosures, professional FX loop and four-button footswitch. Features All tube preamp, power amp, and Reverb circuitry based on classic 1965 Princeton Reverb amp Trans-Impedance Power Attenuator (U.S. Patent # 6,816,009) allows players to crank up the amp for full output tube overdrive; then set the volume of the speaker as low as desired-even SILENT for headphone use! Unlike other attenuators, the lively feel and ‘bounce back’ dynamics of the speaker are reflected back to the tube amp and the player’s hands. This exclusive circuit may be completely bypassed when not needed. Two ’stomp box’ effects, which can be completely
