Claude Lemieux, 4-time Stanley Cup champion, dies at age 60
Former NHL winger Claude Lemieux, who won four Stanley Cup championships and the 1995 Conn Smythe Trophy, has died at age 60.

Claude Lemieux, a four-time Stanley Cup champion known for his aggressive style of play during a successful NHL career, has died at age 60.
The NHL Alumni Association announced Lemieux's death Thursday. According to The Guardian, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said deputies responded just after 3 a.m. to an apparent suicide at a furniture store showroom in Lake Park, Florida, where the victim was believed to be Lemieux. CBS News reported that a cause of death was not immediately available.
Lemieux won Stanley Cup championships with three different teams during his NHL career. He was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy in 1995 as the most valuable player during the playoffs. Known as a hard-hitting winger, Lemieux developed a reputation for his physical style of play that often drew the ire of opponents.
After his playing career ended, Lemieux transitioned into working as a player agent, representing other NHL athletes in contract negotiations and career decisions.
Lemieux's combination of skill and aggressive play made him a polarizing figure in hockey, but his ability to perform in crucial games helped his teams capture multiple championships throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
