His most memorable moment in a game occurred during the 2005 semi  finals against Sexsmith when the Penguins QB Andrew Anderson  was running in the end zone waiting for the time clock to run out for the game win. Lindon and Joe Neil share the honor of the Mighty Peace Football League Outstanding Defensive Lineman award with Peace River. Lindon feels great to share this honor with someone like Joe especially since they joined the team at the same time. He believes the team is like a family and admires and respects the effort people put into it. He sees the positive changes in people as it teaches responsibility and dedication. Lindon helps with the rookie players by teaching the game and making sure everything is on the bus for the trips.
