Peter Luukko, who served as President and COO of Comcast Spectacor and the Flyers, recently joined Snow The Goalie and shared some great stories, but one involving Eric Lindros was like a scene from a superhero flick.

The London, Ontario native captivated the Flyers fanbase -and quite frankly any hockey fan worth their weight in salt (ice?)- for the better part of eight seasons in Philadelphia before a terribly contentious divorce left him on the outs with the organization until 2012. But what a time it was. In eight seasons donning the Orange & Black, Lindros averaged 1.36 points per game, including a bonkers 1995-96 season that saw the center post an average of 1.58 points per game. Both of those staggering averages remain at the top of the Flyers’ All-Time lists twenty plus years later.

Lindros’ 6’4″, 240lb. frame was imposing, but what stood out the most was the unbelievable skillset he possessed, which could’ve rivaled any smaller player’s. Per Luukko, that frame and the power he could generate once led to him going through the Spectrum ice:

[Lindros] is the only player I know that went through the ice at the Spectrum by the way. He went through the ice? Thank God we built the new building. Yeah, right by the zamboni tunnel to the right by the (NO IDEA) was always this high spot because the floor wasn’t that great. You know, people talk about ice skating conditions today, they should just go back to those days. The ice sucked. I mean everywhere. Everybody’s worried about it now. He actually went through the ice one game. That’s how powerful a man he was.

Through the ice. Good thing Ed Snider put up everything he had to get the Center built.
