Ted is also terribly missed. He was a Red Wings legend, he helped establish the NHLPA…

On what would have been Ted Lindsay’s 99th birthday, we honour and remember the man who embodied passion and perseverance.

And his charitable work helping autism research and treatment was and remains first-class through the Ted Lindsay Foundation.
