Former NHL forward Bobby Sheehan, who had a brief stint with the Detroit Red Wings, has died at age 77. Sheehan was well known across professional hockey circles for both his remarkable skating speed on the ice and his flamboyant, fast-paced lifestyle off it, which earned him a colorful reputation throughout his career.
After being cut by the Blackhawks and Team USA in 1976, Sheehan signed with Detroit in October 1976, tallying nine points in 34 games. Over his broader NHL career, he won a Stanley Cup with the Montreal Canadiens in 1971 and reached the Stanley Cup Final with the New York Rangers in 1979.
