He was known on the ice as Terrible Ted, the scrappy left wing whose aggressive play on the legendary Production Line helped lead the Detroit Red Wings to Stanley Cup Championships in 1950, 1952, 1954 and 1955.
More than six decades later, Ted Lindsay has a different nickname, Terrific Ted, "because of what he does from a humanitarian standpoint," says his son-in-law Lew LePaugh, who also is president of the Ted Lindsay Foundation.
