Claude Lemieux, the hard-nosed NHL forward who won four Stanley Cups during his long hockey career, has died at the age of 60.
According to reports, Lemieux was found early in the morning at his family’s furniture business after relatives became worried when he did not return home. His adult son reportedly discovered him inside a warehouse area around 3 AM.
Lemieux built a reputation as one of hockey’s fiercest competitors, playing 21 seasons in the NHL. During his career, he suited up for the Montreal Canadiens, New Jersey Devils, Colorado Avalanche, Phoenix Coyotes, Dallas Stars, and San Jose Sharks.
He celebrated Stanley Cup victories in 1986, 1995, 1996, and 2000. His standout postseason performance in 1995 earned him the Conn Smythe Trophy as the league’s most valuable playoff player.
Beyond his achievements on the ice, Lemieux was also known as a dedicated family man. He leaves behind wife and their four children.
