Former Red Wings star forward Bob Probert is dead at 45 after collapsing on a boat Monday in Lake St. Clair.
Emergency crews performed CPR on the former Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks forward and transported him to Windsor Regional Hospital, according to reports.
Probert, 45, spent nine seasons with the Red Wings and seven with the Blackhawks.
"It's a tragic loss," Wings general manager Ken Holland said. "I don't know any details yet so I don't want to say too much. But any time someone passes at age 45, it's a tragic loss."
One of the most feared fighters in the league, Probert accumulated 3,300 penalty minutes with 163 goals and 384 points and played in 1988 All-Star Game.
