Widely recognized as one of the greatest blueliners in history, Nicklas Lidstrom is a twelve-time All-Star, with four Stanley Cup championships won. The talented Swede spent his entire Hall of Fame career in Motor City, earning an especially impressive seven James Norris trophies as the NHL’s premier defenceman. Offered directly from the Ted Lindsay Foundation with proceeds from this sale to benefit their continued battle against autism, we have a “Seven-time James Norris winner” print signed by the superstar. At approx 14 ½” x 24”, Lidstrom is pictured sitting on the boards of the Red Wings bench, with his prized hardware proudly lined up. The Olympic gold medal winner has added a large and flowing silver paint pen signature that dominates the black background. With just light wear to the print including a slight bend to the upper right corner, an LOA will accompany.
Originally created by the legendary Hall of Fame superstar in 2001 to assist a friend’s child diagnosed with autism, the Ted Lindsay Foundation was established to “support research and educational programs focusing on the cause and management of autism spectrum disorders.” Although Ted sadly left us in 2019, the foundation’s important work has continued, with over 5 million raised from inception through 2020. At the 28th National Philanthropy Day celebration, the Ted Lindsay Foundation received the prestigious “Outstanding Foundation Award” for 2019, from the Greater Detroit Chapter of Association of Fundraising Professionals for demonstrating “outstanding commitment through financial support and through encouragement and motivation to others to take leadership roles in philanthropy and community involvement.” A partial list of programs supported by the Ted Lindsay Foundation include; FAR Therapeutic Arts and Recreation, The Healing Haven-Linking Hands and Hearts, The Courage Awards, Venetian’s Club’s Halloween Party, The Johnson Center, Dutton Farms and For The Kids Foundation.
