Ray Bourque #7 - Co-Captain A unique jersey Bourque wore for 3 seasons as co-captain with Rick Middleton from 85-86 through 87-88. Slick Rick wore the C on the home whites while Ray wore the A. And on the roads they switched and Ray would wear the C. Then on December 3rd, 1987, Bourque infamously took off his number 7 jersey to reveal 77, as Phil Esposito watched his 7 head to the Garden rafters.
