Playing Career
Lindsay spent three years at McGill University where he played for the school's hockey team, the McGill Redmen. He turned professional in 1910 and played two seasons for Renfrew in the NHA. When the team disbanded he moved west and joined the Victoria Aristocrats of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA) for three seasons before returning to the NHA with the Montreal Wanderers. Lindsay stayed with the Wanderers when they joined the National Hockey League in 1917. After the Westmount Arena, the home arena of the Wanderers, burned down in January 1918, Lindsay was left without a team for the remainder of the season. He signed with the Toronto Arenas for the 1918–19 NHL season and retired when the season ended.

Famous quotes containing the words playing and/or career:
“And there were present
the Picninnies,
and the Jobillies,
and the Garyulies,
and the great Panjandrum himself,
with the little round button at top;
and they all fell to playing the game
of catch-as-catch-can,
till the gunpowder ran out at the heels of their boots.”
—Samuel Foote (1720–1777)
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
