To all hockey fans,

I just found out that former NHL tough guy Bob Probert passed away earlier this afternoon.

I don't know if he was saved or not. I do know that he was one of the most feared enforcers on the ice in his career and that he would get into occasional scraps with Stu Grimson - who does claim to be a believer.

Former Red Wings, Blackhawks enforcer Bob Probert dies at 45 - USATODAY.com

He was on Lake St. Clair, between MI and ON. I wonder if the fact that it was about 94 here today (and no one's used to that) had anything to do with his death.

Very sad.

knew him during my late high school years, he played for the local Jr A team for a few years.

he did a lot of substance damage to himself, had a long career even in spite of this.

Our prayers for the Probert Family in this time of loss.

On a postive note:yes,Stu Grimson claims to be a follower of Jesus here's the link for some of his testimony.

Probert was an absolute beast on the ice.
