The character James trades a Bobby Orr hockey stick for a condom.
"In what came to be known as the infamous "Be prepared" scene, James finally trades Richie his official Bobby Orr hockey stick and regulation NHL hockey puck for the condom (a neat conjunction of boyish and adult concerns) and heads for the woods with his girlfriend — where it is made abundantly clear that they never go all the way." http://www.aliciapatterson.org/APF001977/Levine/Levine03/Levine03.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_at_15
(regarding Bobby Orr, 1979 Hockey Hall of Fame inductee)..."The NHL waived the mandatory three-year waiting period for induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame and he was enshrined at age 31—the youngest player ever to be inducted." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Orr
