Wow, all that by age 45. He certainly lived hard and died young.

Ex-Red Wing enforcer Probert dies

Former NHL enforcer Bob Probert died after collapsing on a boat in Ontario on Monday. He was 45.

While playing for the Detroit Red Wings from 1985-86 to 1993-94, Probert was charged several times with driving under the influence. He also was caught trying to carry cocaine from Canada into the United States, and served a prison term.

Probert retired in November 2003 after 17 seasons with the Red Wings and the Chicago Blackhawks. He finished his career with 163 goals, 384 points and 3,300 penalty minutes -- fourth in NHL history -- in 935 games.

Probert, notorious drunk/ cokehead.
Amazing, though that he was that young, jeez.

Yea, but sports and the lifestyle that goes with it probably ages those players by 10 years...

Oh hell yes, especially in the 80's.
I was a bartender in Edmonton all through the Oilers' legacy years, and witnessed a few and heard millions more cocaine horror stories.

Gone to Goon Heaven, where penalties can be directly exchanged for hookers, blow, and beer.
