Robert Blake Theodore Lindsay. The man, the myth, the legend. An Art Ross trophy winner, four-time Stanley Cup champion and Hockey Hall of Famer, Terrible Ted was the pinnacle peak of hockey excellence in the day. Ted created the NHLPA to combat the NHL's unfair iron rule of pick pocketing their own players. Ted played for Detroit before being traded by Chicago where he would retire. When Sid Abel became coach of the Red Wings in 1964, he would call on Ted to make a comeback where Ted leaped out of retirement and played one final season with Detroit. Mr. Lindsay also started the now famous routine of skating around the ice with the Stanley Cup.
