Lindros and Quebec
editPlease stop deleting the comments about how Eric Lindros is represented in Quebec. Lindros is a very polarizing figure in Canada and it is important that this be kept in mind in an encyclopedic entry about the man. The people on Wikipedia who delete the entry about Lindros's role as a prototypical White Protestant ghost in the minds of Quebeckers are themselves American and do not fully appreciate this nuanced but important aspect of the Canadian sociopolitical scene. This important point is not inaccurate on its face and does not represent a POV. It is common knowledge in Canada that Lindros is loathed in Quebec - partly for shunning the Nordiques and partly for embodying the tall White Protestant male. Quebeckers' fear and loathing of Lindros is both rational and irrational. Let the point stand. Hanes3777.
- "As well, Lindros is seen to represent the epitome of White Protestant Ontario-based manliness, with its attendant arrogance towards the wishes of the more culturally sensitive Quebecois population." Really, you can't see why I'm editting that??? ccwaters 03:25, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
I edited my paragraph to meet some of your POV concerns. I hardly, however, characterize my discussion about Lindros as hate speech. It is true that Lindros epitomizes certain negative stereotypes of the White Protestant male as he is portrayed in the consciousness of Quebec. Quebeckers have a certain place for Lindros in their psyche and the bottled up angst towards WASPs in general are displayed in large force whenever Lindros plays in Montreal or Quebec City (before they moved in 1995). This phenonenum is not discussed much in the politically correct Canadian media, although you hear mention of it in the Quebec press. Lindros is both loathed and envied for being a successful WASP who shunned Quebec by refusing to play for the Nordiques. He epitomizes all the distasteful Canadian WASP's who have "denied" Quebec over the years and have prevented it from achieving its cultural destiny.
I attended a Leaf game in Montreal this year. Whenever Lindros touched the puck, the boos were loud, intense and defeaning! Keep in mind, the Lindros-Nordiques fiasco took place over 14 years ago! Lindros represents more than just a whiney draft pick who wanted a better deal. Lindros represents a cleavage that runs deep within the Quebec people. Lindros is
an important symbol of the awkward issue of the English-French divide which both mars and spices up Canadian history. Let those three or four sentences stay in the article. From a Canadian perspective, this may end up being Lindros's most important legacy.

- This is an encyclopedia article about a hockey player. If you concerned about Quebec's "cultural destiny" I'd advise you to find another outlet to express it. ccwaters 11:52, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- As CCW said, find another outlet to express Quebecois' manifest destiny in attempting to further separate themselves from Anglophone Canada; if you want to provide a viable, non-biased source who agrees with what you're saying that's one thing, but what you're currently adding is culturally biased and unverifiable. RasputinAXP c 15:29, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Please stop calling my entries about Lindros "hate speech". You don't know the meaning of the term if you use it so loosely. I'm simply stating how Lindros is represented within the Quebecois consciousness as a prototypical White Protestant Canadian male who shunned Quebec. I don't badmouth Canadian White Protestant males nor do I badmouth the Quebecois people. You purposely use the term "hate" simply because I am discussing a sensitive issue. That doesn't make it "hate"! If were to discuss Sammy Sosa, and how he is represent in the Latino consciousness within the United States, would that also constitute hatred? Or if I wrote how sometimes George W. Bush is portrayed as the "prototypical arrogant gringo" in Latin America, would that also constitute hate speech? Perhaps my entry lacked some verficiation and was tinged with subjectivity, but it sure didn't constitute hatred. I await an apology. Hanes3777
- These edits are POV. For example, can you provide a reliable source that can substantiate your sentance, "The people of Quebec never forgot Lindros's stark refusal to play in Quebec." -- JamesTeterenko 22:55, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- Make those proposed edits at Sammy Sosa and George W. Bush and report back if your results differ. ccwaters 14:52, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
It is NOT wrong to indicate the Quebec controversy in this article, but it isn't vital to understanding Lindros' life and career outside of Quebec, and should only be mentioned in passing, while a article on, say the Culture of Quebec or the National Question could explore it further in depth. The other thing is that the article should mention a) that Lindros is disliked in Quebec, and b) why, c) where to go to find out more, and that's it. It shouldn't go into a lengthy description of him a stereotype of an evil WASP opressor. Kevlar67 07:57, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
- Alright, let's take the phrase "hate speech" off the table as being just as polarizing as the comments it decries. That being said, remarks about "oppression" and "White Protestant Ontario Man" are extremely uncalled for and out of place in a NPOV encyclopedia, all based on a single incident where a teenager who (correctly) figured he could dictate where he could play did so. Considering that the Lindros trade was one of the most overwhelmingly one-sided deals in hockey history, you'd think that Quebecois still boiling over this fifteen years after the fact should be snickering instead. Give it a rest. Ravenswing 20:47, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah but a) the team left just before they won the cup (the would boil my but too) and b) it's more about deep-seated cultural and political questions that hockey. Which is precisely why it should be briefly mentioned. But that's it. And leave it up to people who actually want to write Quebec-themed articles to explain it. Kevlar67 10:46, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
I would just like to add that I never portrayed Lindros as an evil WASP oppressor. He made his decision in 1991 based primarily on his self-interest. However, because of his actions, Lindros represents the negatively stereotypical White Protestant English Canadian in the hearts of Quebeckers. He's a big sturdy alpha male from Ontario who took one look at Quebec and said "No thank you". The implications from his decision abounded. 'Quebec isn't good enough for the prototypical White Protestant Canadian male?' people asked. It really was a proverbial slap in the face. White Protestant domination, which in the minds of most Quebeckers led to their second rate status both economically and politically within Canada, rendered the Nordiques organization too impotent to acquire the best stock that English Canada had to offer. It was a double whammy! Lindros, inadvertedly, but assuredly, occupies a role in the sociopolitical divide that permeates Canada. I have included a source to back up this assertion.
I realize that Lindros's legacy includes more than this issue. He was a hockey player of the Mark Messier style who never quite lived up to his potential, riddled with injuries throughout his career, the source of a lopsided trade, but still a decent hockey man at the end of the day. But the Lindros-Nordiques saga offers an opportunity for a hockey player to transcend the mundane and have his legacy fuse into the fabric of a cultural and political debate. We, as Wikipedia editors, should show a little intellectual courage and present this important aspect of Lindros's legacy. We must ask ourselves: how will Lindros be remembered in 50 years? This is an encyclopedia - not a weekly 'Hockey News' segment. So please stop deleting this important contribution. Hanes3777
- I reverted your edit again. You still haven't provided a reliable source for your statements; the reference you tried to use just said that Quebeckers were angry at him back when he was drafted. It contained no reference to the following statements you continue to add:
- he is incessantly booed by the crowd.
- It's because of his "Anglican sturdiness and lack of respect for French Canadian culture"
- that he "epitomize(s) all the negative stereotypes of the White Protestant Ontario man"
- Pardon the pun, but you're skating on really thin ice, here. Please at least sign with ~~~~ next time, and you might want to get yourself an account. RasputinAXP c 09:15, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
______________________________________________________________
The fact that he is booed should be included - because it's true. It may not be sourced on the internet -yet - but anyone who watched a Montreal / Philly game or Montreal / Rangers game in the last decade can attest to this.
As for the fact that he is booed because he is a white Ontario Protestant stereotype.... I dont think it gets much more POV than that.
Lindros had a bad reputation among Ontario Alliance and OMHA before and during his tenure in the OHL because he was known for running the smallest guy on the ice. Bad form in the old days before the instigator rule - he made quite a few enemies on the ice.... (its also the reason why I remember everyone cheering when Scott Stevens hammered him - the general feeling was "couldnt have happened to a better guy")
Refusal to play for two teams - one of them the Nordiques only added to the animosity.
That much is true... but I have a hard time believing that French-Canadian fans are booing him because he is Protestant and white.
And no - I haven't found a source even for the boos yet.... but Im looking... the CBC archives have to be good for something.
American fans might find it all hard to believe... but hockey gets taken pretty seriously North of the border.. even more so in those days when the rules hadnt been quite as watered down and the honour system was enforced more than it is today.
CanadianPhaedrus 15:44, 11 March 2006 (UTC)CanadianPhaedrus
- I know Canadian fans may find it hard to believe, but a lot of us Americans take hockey pretty seriously too. The issue isn't that we're dirty Americans not understanding the Canadian national pastime, but that you're adding unsourced, unverifiable information to the article. I could talk til I'm blue in the face of "Buy a Porsche, Hextall, Buy a Porsche! *CLAP*CLAP*" and "PELLE'S DEAAAAAAAAAAD! PELLE'S DEAAAAAAD!" chants at MSG, but I don't have a solid source for it, it's just what I've seen, heard and talked about. RasputinAXP c 16:16, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
I meant no offense.... just to me the talk page read as if people were incredulous of hockey fans booing a player over something that seems trivial!
Nor was I implying that American players are dirty - players of all nationalities are taking liberties because of the instigator rule and the most recent no fighting in the last 5 minutes..... dont get me started!!
I know the Northern U.S. knows hockey - its nothing new. My comments were more directed to the Southern U.S. where 5 years ago hockey was nothing more than a strange sport played by damaged people.... the Nashville and Phoenix fans!
Yeah yeah its unsourced... hence the reason for me spending more time than usual looking on CBC... I'll find it somewhere... I love to see Lindros booed!
CanadianPhaedrus 21:16, 11 March 2006 (UTC)CanadianPhaedrus
- Okay, I know how to fix this. Both sides have to agree to two points, and no edits (none!) should be made until we resolve these two points: A) Is Lindros' bad reputation in Quebec and the underlying cultural and political baggage that goes with it worthy of inclusion? I say it is. What do others think? B) Can we agree to source all comments, and not attempt to "read in" what we think the people of Quebec may or may not think? Can we agree to try out all new edits on this topic in the Talk section before messing with the Main Page?(Haine3777 I'm looking at you!) Let's agree to solve those two areas first, and then we can work on the details. Kevlar67 08:36, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
- Should I edit the laundry list of sport figures that Philadelphia booes at? Should I make contrived statements that "X player's whiney Y religous/ethnic background was incompatible with the hard working blue collar Catholic Philadelphians"? Lindros was a spoiled kid who refused to play for 2 horrible teams : one in Quebec, one in Ontario. To imply ethnic motivations is ridiculous. ccwaters 13:39, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
- Depends, will they still be booing at them 15 years from now? I don't understand your "contrived statement" argument. To imply "ethnic motivations" by whom is ridiculous? Lindros? Or Quebeckers? I don't get it. Here are the facts: Lindros didn't want to play in Quebec for whatever reason (we don't know). People in Quebec interpreted that as a slight against their society and culture. Now whether that was Lindros' intention at this point is irrelevant!!! At this point it has gone into Quebec's national psyche, and that's what the article should mention: that Quebeckers feel slighted by Lindros. It shouldn't say that he's an evil WASP, and it shouldn't say that Quebeckers are whiney because those are POVs. The mention of the public feeling of grievance against Lindros in Quebec isn't POV, it's a well known fact in Canada (English Canada too). It doesn't matter if you think that is rediculous, that's your own POV, which you are entitled to, but that has no bearing on the truth as hand. By mentioning this public feeling we are not endorsing it, we are simply reporting the facts, because that's what we are supposed to do. Kevlar67 14:00, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
- Sourcing anything with something that's usable as a source is fine. Find me a CBC report, or Sports Illustrated, or the Hockey News, not a random webpage, webboard or blog that says what you're trying to add that's contentious, and at least we have SOME way of accounting for it. I'd think the "Quebec National Psyche" is more hurt over the loss of the Nordiques than Lindros. RasputinAXP c 17:31, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Re High School
editThe current page says that Eric Lindros attended St. Michael's College School in Toronto. Being an alumni who would have been there at the same time (graduated 1993), I am fairly certain this was not the case, though I believe his brother Brett did attend the school for one year. The confusion may have arisen because he did play for the Junior B Buzzers which was affiliated with St. Michael's. To clarify, the school had junior and senior teams which were made up of students attending the school, but also ran the Buzzers team which was not limited to players attending St. Mike's. I have not made any changes to the main page since there is a possibility that I am mistaken, perhaps somebody else attending at the same time could confirm before changes are made. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.112.45.128 (talk) 04:35, 12 April 2007 (UTC).
I don't think he went to St. Mikes or Monarch Park. I'm pretty sure he went to North Toronto CI before he headed down to Detroit to play for Detroit Compuware. I know he went to Glenview SPS for Grade 7 & 8 and then to North Toronto for grade 9 and I believe it was in Grade 10 that he headed down to Detroit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.231.100.208 (talk) 03:34, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
Elvis Stojko
editOver the years I've read varying reports (possibly an urban legend) that Lindros engaged figure staker Elvis Stojko in a barroom fight and lost (Stojko is reportedly a black belt martial artist), however I've never seen any actual conclusive evidence to support the story. Does anyone know if it's true? Avalyn 03:49, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
The Stojko fight rumours are completely false.
True or not, the idea that a hockey player, especially one with Lindros' size and skills, could lose a fight to a male figure skater... let's just say it doesn't make Number 88 look too good. And if he denies it, it makes him look like a sore loser. And is Stojko denies it, who's gonna believe him? It's one of those stories that too good to not want it to be true.
I think the above post should be removed. How is this relevant in any way? Stojko is a black belt. I don't care how big Lindros is, a hockey player should lose every fight to a black belt. This is a frivolous and insignificant comment. They're friends, this story is not true. Who cares how it might have hypothetically made either of them look, considering that it never happened?74.108.86.3 06:10, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Question
editOn ESPN's "SportsCentury" -- a good one, although it could have been expanded to a full hour, such has been Lindros' career -- someone was shown saying, because of the injuries, head cases (figurative and literal/medical) and dashed expectations, "This wasn't the next Gretzky, this wasn't even the first Lindros." Does anyone remember who said it? If anyone knows, I think the line should be included in the entry. If I had remembered, I would've entered it myself, but I don't.
Hold on...
editTSN is reporting as of 6:20 EST on July 16th 2006 that Lindros is NOT actually on the Dallas Stars. Secondly, he was drafted first overall by Quebec, and held out on them, causing him to be traded to the Flyers, not what is represented on the main page.
Didn't Eric Lindros assault a woman once early in his career? I remember this but it is not on the main page.74.108.86.3 06:04, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
- Lindros was alleged to have done a great many things early in his career, some of which he actually did, much of which was either terribly overblown or whole cloth inventions. I wouldn't touch any such edit without an ironclad link to a mainstream media source. Ravenswing 07:38, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Controversy
editAlright, it's an issue which has attracted a good bit of shouting and rhetoric. Yes, I consider the notion that Lindros' snub of Quebec was a vicious, emasculating, racist attack on the Quebecois nation by the Protestant Anglos a heap of bullshit. (Hell, with my high school French, I'd sure as hell want to find work in a place that spoke the same language I did if I had any choice in the matter, and so would any of you, and somehow I doubt too many monoglot Quebecois would jump at the chance to relocate to Philadelphia, either.) Yes, Lindros holding out on them was the best thing that ever happened to the franchise short of its existence in the first place, and yes, teenage boys who are full of themselves are often impolitic about how they turn down something they don't want. But the fury of the Quebecois was palpable, and the article as it stands doesn't mention any of that at all. Does anyone have a desire to put up a well-sourced, short paragraph on the controversy? Ravenswing 19:11, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
- Indeed, refrain from deleting the effects of Lindros' first game in Quebec, as why should that be removed when the armband incident and the spat with Clarke remain? Keep the Quebec incident as well as the rest of Lindros' controversies here until a proper paragraph can be written. TheAxeGrinder 05:47, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- It is written as a copyright violation. Flibirigit 04:23, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- I've removed the content once again. If it is a copyright violation, that should be the final say on the matter. If it is not, that section holds absolutely no encyclopedic value, and diminishes the quality of the article, overall. - Rjd0060 05:11, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
- It is written as a copyright violation. Flibirigit 04:23, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Can someone explain how it holds no encyclopedic value when it clearly illustrates the frustration and reaction of the Quebec Nordique fans over Lindros' behaviour? If that isn't good, then why should Bobby Clarke's feud with Lindros be here? TheAxeGrinder 05:47, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
To be honest, I disagree. While I'd prefer not to have obscenities in the article, there does need to be some mention of the mood of the Quebecois fans at the time, and as long as any reference is sourced, that should be all it takes. Ravenswing 23:25, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Exactly. What I had contributed was perfectly fine (although an asterisk may be included in the offending material). The source was also included, so that fills that requirement. TheAxeGrinder 05:47, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- Your comments not only detracted from the article's style, they were and still would be copyright violations. Flibirigit 16:31, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
- If my comments detract from the article's style, then remove Bob Clarke's comments, which are the same 'style', and they are NOT copyright violations! TheAxeGrinder 05:47, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- Listen, Flibirigit, STOP DELETING MY ADDITIONS! It is acceptable, it is documented (phone Stephen Cole if you want), and bottom line, IT HAPPENED! Stop deleting it to be a jerk. TheAxeGrinder 05:47, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- Please refrain from calling anyone names. Also, material copied verbatim is not allowed. Also, it severely detracts from the article. Flibirigit 06:07, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

- First off, I am not calling anyone names directly. Secondly, it is NOT plagiarism. Go buy a copy of the book, read the section on this, and tell me if it's really word-for-word. Stop trying to censor what really happened during the game.TheAxeGrinder (talk) 05:34, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Alright, this begs the question. Flibirigit, is this, in fact, a copyvio? I'm about ready to hit up the library myself. Ravenswing 04:56, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- IMHO, the Lindros-Nordiques controversy need only a small paragraph. In the hockey history of french vs english, the Lindros event pales in comparison to the Richard suspension & later Riot (every hockey english/french squabble, does) -Down with Campbell, Down with Campbell. GoodDay (talk) 15:47, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- In the hockey history of French vs. English, it's relatively minor, arguably. It looms quite a bit larger in the history of Lindros' own career, which is what's pertinent. Ravenswing 07:10, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
- This spat with the Nordiques coupled with the feud Lindros had with Clarke in Philly may also be the deciding factor as to whether Lindros deserves to be in the hall. Plus, it leads to the trade that Quebec got those draft picks which ultimately led to their Stanley Cup win in Colorado.TheAxeGrinder (talk) 19:02, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- Personal point of view and speculation as to why an individual may or not be eletected into the Hall of Fame is not grounds for inclusion in an article. Flibirigit (talk) 22:20, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. Obviously I think that the whole Lindros-Quebec flap is notable -- and it was certainly very heavily publicized, for years -- but when one segues into using that as a launchpad for discussion as to Lindros' fitness for the HHOF, then that is axe grinding indeed. There are numerous hockey forums and bulletin boards upon which such would be welcome. Ravenswing 22:57, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

- Done. I left out the Stojko part and the "Bon Cop, Bad Cop" references. Just because the Stojko thing is true, I don't see any reason for it to be included here. I might go through and bulk up some of the other sections as well.
