Eric Lindros a Class Act!
Eric Lindros plays hockey. Now I don't mean he plays the occasional game on the street in front of his house. Eric played for the NHL and was arguably one of the best hockey players of all time next to Wayne Gretzky.
Eric retired from hockey this week after thirteen glorious years and as a parting gift for the sport that has given him international fame and tons of money he thought he would give a little back to the community.
You see, Eric is from London, Ontario and we have a city here that is world famous for it's medical facilities. On top of the sports medicine clinic with Dr. Fowler, London is also home to world renown medical centers that specialize in transplant and brain surgery.
Over the years Eric has been treated at Fowlers/Kennedy Sports Clinic and he claims the quality of care he received there was what kept him on the ice when he should have been sidelined after the first year or two.
This prompted him to give something back to people that helped him so much.
Today he announced that he is giving $5 million dollars to the London Health Sciences Centre as a way of saying thanks.
Like I said, Eric is a class act!

Eric was an excellent player. I already knew that he's built a great career , but I got very impressed when I watched this video today with his career stats about games, goals, assists and points http://www.weshow.com/us/p/23209/eric_lindros_retires_from_nhl. Did you know that he scored almost 1000 points? His retirement is a pity, we will miss his talent in NHL.
