Playing the most crucial position in the game, Bert Lindsay was the Renfrew Millionaire goalie.  He was originally recruited by M.J. O'Brien to tend goal for the Renfrew Creamery Kings prior to the creation of the National Hockey Association (NHA).

When the NHA was established in 1909, and the Kings became the Renfrew Millionaires, O'Brien asked Lindsay to continue playing with the team. He did an outstanding job although his statistics are a little deceiving compared to today's numbers.  At that time, with different rules for goaltending, any goals against average lower than 5.00 was considered extremely good.

Lindsay led the Millionaires to a 8-3-1 record in the 1909-10 season with a 4.44 goals against average.

When the Renfrew Millionaires folded, Lindsay joined the Victoria Aristocrats for four seasons, and then returned to the NHA as a member of the Montreal Wanderers.

He retired following the 1918-19 season with the Toronto Arenas, then returned to Renfrew to raise his family, eventually moving to Kirkland Lake.  His son, Ted Lindsay, would go on to become a professional hockey player with the National Hockey League and is a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame.
