A nine-time all-star, Ted Lindsay is considered one of the greatest left-wingers in the game.
TORONTO — Ted Lindsay, a hard-nosed star winger who formed Detroit’s famed Production Line with Gordie Howe and Sid Abel, has died. He was 93.Lindsay’s impact on hockey was felt on and off the ice. A nine-time all-star who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1966, Lindsay is considered one of the greatest left-wingers in the game.
While just five foot eight and 160 pounds, Lindsay cast a huge shadow on the ice. The native of Renfrew, Ont., was hard-working, skilled and able to antagonize opponents. “I wanted to prove myself, but also the people I cheated the night they watched me because I wasn’t playing very well,” he said. Lindsay had an aorta valve replaced in April 2014 but soon returned to the gym to continue his workout regimen. He credited wife’s Joanne’s cooking as another reason for his longevity.
Born July 29, 1925, in Renfrew, Ont., Robert Blake Theodore Lindsay grew up in the gritty mining town of Kirkland Lake. The youngest of nine children, six boys and three girls, he said “I learned how to fight young.” The Maple Leafs heard word of a talented youngster at St. Mike’s but Lindsay was injured when they came to see what the fuss was about. A player named Joe Sadler had a good game that night and the Leafs, thinking he was the one being touted, put him on their negotiation list.
