This red air-knit jersey by CCM was personally signed by Bob Probert. The Detroit Red Wings selected Probert in the 3rd round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft. Probert made his NHL debut with Detroit during the 1985-86 season. It didn’t take long for Bob to make his presence felt, chipping in 21 points and 186 PIMS in 44 games as a rookie. The following two seasons Probert and his Wings made trips to the Conference Finals, where they fell both times to the Oilers dynasty. Probert spent his first 9 seasons with the Red Wings where he became the leagues top enforcer and a serious fan favorite. After some off-ice problems and a year away from the sport, Probert’s career landed him in Chicago where he ran roughshot over the league with the Blackhawks for the next 7 seasons. All told, Bob played for 16 seasons in the NHL and is 5th on the NHL’s all-time penalty minute leaders list with 3300 PIMS! Considered one of the most feared men who ever laced up the skates, this tough guy will never be forgotten by the fans that witnessed his wrath. Sadly, Bob passed away at only 46 years of age in the summer of 2010.
This Chicago Blackhawks, size L, replica jersey has the player name “Probert” on the back. The player number “24” is on both sleeves and the back. Bob has autographed the back player number 2 “Bob Probert, 3000 PIM, 3/11/00”. The autograph is light but completely readable.
