Description

Bio taken from Wiki: "Robert Blake Theodore "Terrible Ted" Lindsay (born July 29, 1925) is a former professional ice hockey player, a forward for the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Black Hawks of the National Hockey League (NHL). He scored over 800 points in his Hockey Hall of Fame career, won the Art Ross Trophy in 1950, and won the Stanley Cup four times. Often referred to as "Terrible Ted", Lindsay helped to organize the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA) in the late 1950s, an action which led to his trade to Chicago. On January 1, 2017, in a ceremony prior to the Centennial Classic, Lindsay was part of the first group of players to be named one of the '100 Greatest NHL Players' in history."
