The hockey community is reflecting back on the life and legacy of NHL great Ted Lindsay this morning.
“All current and former NHL players lost a true friend with the passing of Ted Lindsay,” a statement from NHLPA executive director Don Fehr read. “‘Terrible Ted’ was one of the fiercest competitors to ever play in the NHL, and he enjoyed great success on the Detroit’s fabled Production Line, helping lead the Red Wings to four Stanley Cup championships. On the ice, Ted Lindsay was one of the best players to ever to put on a pair of skates.
“But his greatest legacy was off the ice. A true trailblazer in seeking to improve conditions for all players, Ted was instrumental in organizing the original Players’ Association in 1957. All Players, past, current and future, are in his debt.” Finding words to summarize the life and impact of a man like Lindsay is no small undertaking, but fans from around the world rushed to do their best, taking to Twitter to pay their respects and say farewell to an icon.After the Red Wings won in 1950, he “took it to” the fans at Olympia Stadium.
