Collaboration key to concussion battle: Eric Lindros

LONDON, Ont. — On the ice, four-time Olympic hockey gold medalist Hayley Wickenheiser and NHL great Eric Lindros were team players — their sport required it.

And even though they’ve hung up their skates, it was clear from their message at Western University’s fifth annual See The Line concussion symposium that their team-building spirit has lingered, even in their new roles as concussion advocates.

“To get anywhere, everyone’s got to collaborate. Everyone’s got to learn from each other’s mistakes and learn from each other’s successes,” said Lindros, whose professional career was cut short by the brain injury.
