Eric Brian Lindros (b.1973) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player known for his imposing physical presence and exceptional skill. A dominant force in the NHL during the 1990s and early 2000s, he was one of the most feared forwards in the league.
Born in London, Ontario, Lindros excelled in junior hockey with the Oshawa Generals, winning the Red Tilson Trophy as the OHL’s most outstanding player. Drafted first overall by the Quebec Nordiques in 1991, he refused to play for them and was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers, where he starred 1992–2001. Lindros won the Hart Memorial Trophy as the NHL’s MVP in 1995 and led the Flyers to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1997, showcasing his power, speed, and scoring ability.
Repeated concussions derailed his career, and after leaving the Flyers, he played for the New York Rangers, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Dallas Stars but never regained his peak form. His insights and experiences are shared in Pursue Your Goals (Positively for Kids) (1999.)
