The hockey world lost one of the greatest people to ever be involved in the game on Monday morning as Hall of Famer Ted Lindsay passed away at the age of 93.

You didn’t need to play with Lindsay to know what kind of a person he truly was and you could tell by the way the current players talked about him as they mourned his loss while talking to the media. The Red Wings were off on Monday night, but they were in Colorado on Tuesday and the home team made an extremely classy gesture by taking some time ahead of the game to hold a moment of silence for the late four-time Stanley Cup champion.

Lindsay spent 14 years of his career with the Detroit Red Wings and three with the Chicago Blackhawks, and retired well before the Avalanche even came into existence, but that didn’t stop the franchise from showing some love to one of the greatest people to ever play in the NHL and to be part of the game of hockey.
