Brother: Eric Lindros
Not unlike his older brother, Brett Lindros was forced into early retirement due to post-concussion syndrome. The head injury was suffered in a game against the Los Angeles Kings on November 2, 1995. He announced his retirement on May 1, 1996.
On February 18, 2001, Lindros was seriously injured in a snowmobile accident, and was charged with operating a snowmachine without a license or permit. According to the police, alcohol was a factor in the events.
