Lindros : 9th most generous star - Oprah tops

Retired hockey player Eric Lindros is among the world's top 10 most generous celebrities.

Lindros made No. 9 on the list, which is compiled annually by The Giving Back Fund, after contributing $5 million to the London Health Sciences Centre, a London, Ont.-based hospital where he was treated.

He tied in generosity with other sports stars — basketball player Michael Jordan, who gave to a Chicago school, and cyclist Lance Armstrong, who gave to cancer research.

Lindros played in the National Hockey League for 16 years, most notably with the Philadelphia Flyers.
