NHL Legend Ted Lindsay Dead at 93
NHL Hall of Famer Ted Lindsay -- who was instrumental in founding the NHL Player's Association -- died Monday. He was 93.
Lindsay had been in hospice care toward the end of his life. And that's all the family is saying right now.
Lindsay is a hockey legend -- he scored 851 points in his 17-year NHL career and raised the Stanley Cup on 4 different occasions with the Detroit Red Wings, alongside teammates Gordie Howe and Sid Abel.
In fact, it was Lindsay who started the tradition of hoisting the Cup and skating it around the ice after winning the championship. How cool is that?!
He was also such a stud, the NHLPA named the annual MVP Award after Lindsay.
