Pelle Lindbergh (May 24, 1959-November 10, 1985) was a Swedish professional ice hockey goaltender who played for the Philadelphia Flyers.
Lindbergh was born in in Stockholm, Sweden. Having gained fame while playing for local team Hammarby in his youth, and for the Swedish National Team in the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics, Lindbergh set his sights on the North American game. He started out his North American career during the 1980-81 season by playing a couple seasons for the now defunct Maine Mariners of the AHL, before playing his first games for the Philadelphia Flyers in 1981-82. He led the NHL with 40 victories during the 1984-85 season, winning the Vezina Trophy as the first European goaltender to do so in NHL history. That same year, he was also named a First Team All-Star. However, the young star's career and life were cut tragically short by an automobile accident on November 10, 1985.
