DETROIT – Bob Probert, the beloved enforcer for the Red Wings in the late 1980s through the mid-90s, died Monday afternoon after collapsing on a boat in Lake St. Clair.

Essex County Media Relations Officer Shawna Coulter confirmed early Monday evening that the Lakeshore office of the Ontario Provincial Police received a distress call at 2:55 p.m. EDT of a person needing medical transport. Probert, 45, was taken to shore near the Edgewater Shoreline and wisked by ambulance to Windsor Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Coulter said.

A southern part of the Canadian province of Ontario and Michigan are separated by Lake St. Clair, which at its southern end spills into the Detroit River that divides Windsor from Detroit.

Remembered for his long-reach and ferocious attitude in the crease area, Probert was one tough competitor, the likes not seen in the NHL since. He played 16 NHL seasons, including nine with the Red Wings, the team that made the Windsor native a third-round draft pick in 1983. He was an All-Star in 1988 retired in 2002 with 3,300 penalty minutes.
