The last surviving member of the original “Production Line” has died.
Ted Lindsay died while in hospice care in Oakland Township, Mich.
Lindsay was born in Renfrew, Ontario in 1925. After a successful run with the Oshawa Generals, he was invited to play for the Detroit Red Wings when he was 19-years-old in 1944.
Lindsay played left wing on what was called “the Production Line” alongside centre Sid Abel and right wing Gordie Howe, all members of the Hockey Hall of Fame. Abel died in 2000 due to heart failure and Howe died in 2016 at age 88.
