Father: Bob Lindgren
Brother: Ryan Lindgren

A butterfly-goaltender, who reads the play well and does an excellent job staying square to the puck. Charlie Lindgren has a nice combination of size and agility, as he is quick on his skates to get into position and plays the angles well. The right-catching goalie recovers quickly and never gives up on a shot. Has a very good glove and doesn’t allow many 2nd chances, as he controls his rebounds well. Battles for the puck, makes timely saves and has the ability to give his team a confidence-boost. (by Rafik Soliman, November 2017)
