Eric Lindros, Philadelphia Flyers (1999-00)[Credit: NHL Snipers]After suffering his second concussion of the year during a game in March of the 1999-00 season, Lindros criticized the teams medical staff for not properly diagnosing him with symptoms a few weeks before when he was hit.

Head coach Todd McLellan and the rest of the management team have decided to let the players decide on the franchises next captain. Theres still a chance that Thornton might return as the captain this upcoming season, but we will have to wait and see. Honourable mentionsDarryl Sittler, Toronto Maple Leafs (1979)[Credit: Hockey Hall of Fame]Darryl Sittler and Leafs management didnt always see eye to eye on everything. Alan Eagleson told general manager Punch Imlach that it would cost the team $500,000 to get Sittler to waive his no-trade clause. Instead, Imlach traded one of Sitters closest friends and one of the teams top players, Lanny McDonald, to the Colorado Rockies. As a protest, Sittler ripped the "C" off his sweater, saying that the captain had to be the go-between with players and management, and he felt that he no longer had any communication with the guys upstairs. The following season, Sittler returned to the Leafs and the "C" was back on his sweater, despite Harold Ballard comparing his previous actions to burning the Canadian flag.Charlie Conway, D3 (1996)Charlie and his teammates were awarded scholarships in D3 to Eden Hall Academy, a high ranking prep school, so things changed for all of them.
