Bob Probert's ashes spread inside Joe Louis Arena penalty box

Bob Probert's family spread his ashes inside the Red Wings penalty box at Joe Louis Arena following the club's final game at the historic venue Sunday, multiple players told Brad Galli of WXYZ-TV Detroit.

A fan favorite, Probert spent nine seasons with the Red Wings from 1985-1994. The enforcer recorded 2,090 penalty minutes during that span and 3,300 for his career.

Probert died of a heart attack in 2010. In 2011, researchers at Boston University claimed they found evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in his brain.
