Lindros is calling it quits
LONDON, Canada -- Former NHL most valuable player Eric Lindros retired Thursday in his hometown, ending a career derailed by a series of concussions and other injuries.
The 6-foot-4, 240-pound forward had 372 goals, 865 points and 1,398 penalty minutes in 760 games for Philadelphia, Toronto, the New York Rangers and Dallas.
He won the Hart Trophy as league MVP in 1995 and was part of the Canadian Olympic team that won gold in 2002.
He also won silver for Canada in 1992.
The 34-year-old center made it through 13 seasons despite the concussions and other injuries that eventually limited his playing time.
Lindros is expected to join the staff of the NHL Players’ Assn.
