Captaincy has been long regarded as one of the highest honors for hockey players. Team captains have a lot of responsibilities on and off the ice, as they are seen as the team leader and usually one of the team’s top players. After two great seasons to start his career, in 1994 Eric Lindros was named the tenth captain in Philadelphia Flyers history at just 21 years old. The decision instantly proved to be correct, as the new captain won the Hart Memorial Trophy as the 1994-95 season MVP and led the Flyers to their first playoff appearance in six seasons. Lindros continued his dominance and high scoring to help take Philadelphia to the playoffs in the next five years to finish his tenure with the team, including a Stanley Cup Finals appearance in 1997. The hall-of-famer’s leadership and strong play help lead the Flyers back to relevance and cemented him as a Flyers legend.

After being named the youngest Flyers’ captain ever at the age of 21, skating in six NHL All-Star games, and bringing home the 1995 Hart Memorial Trophy, Eric Lindros achieved the greatest accomplishment of them all once inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2016. Whether he was skating on the legendary Legion of Doom line with John LeClair and Mikael Renberg or consistently striking fear into the hearts of defenders with his efficient scoring (18th all-time @ 1.14 PPG), Lindros’ mark on the game stretches across his entire hockey career and will forever be immortalized at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.

As the youngest captain in Philadelphia Flyers’ history, the former #1 overall pick had lofty expectations bestowed upon him in looking to reignite the excitement and flame within his organization. Wasting little time, Lindros led the Flyers to the playoffs in each of his 6 seasons as captain and even won the Hart Memorial Trophy with 1.52 PPG during the 1994-1995 season. During this season, Lindros became the first Flyer to record a hat trick in back-to-back games when he did it against the Florida Panthers and the Montreal Canadiens in the March of ’95.

Eric Lindros played for a total of four teams throughout his Hall of Fame NHL career, but his longest and most successful tenure was his time with the Philadelphia Flyers.  Eric Lindros spent his first eight seasons in the NHL with the Flyers, and it didn’t take long for him to make himself known.  In September 1994, after only two seasons in the NHL, Eric Lindros was named captain of the Flyers.  Lindros did not disappoint that season scoring 29 goals and 70 points in the strike shortened season en route to winning the Hart Memorial Trophy and leading the Flyers to their first playoff appearance in six years.  Two years later in 1997 Lindros would help the Flyers reach their first Stanley Cup Finals in ten years.

When the Philadelphia Flyers were founded in 1967, it was immediately established that they would have an orange and black color scheme in honor of the Philadelphia Quakers, the former NHL team in the city. Ever since, the Flyers have kept this unique look with variations of orange and black. For the first time in the 1997-98 season, the team introduced alternate jerseys with black as the main color. The captain on that team was Eric Lindros, now considered one of the greatest Flyers of all time. In his eight seasons in Philadelphia, the future hall-of-famer was a six-time All-Star and won one Hart Memorial Trophy (MVP), while also taking the team to a Stanley Cup Finals. Lindros remains forever associated with the Flyers, as now are the black jerseys, which has seen time as primary jerseys and whose variation still remains in the rotation today.
