Trump Pays Tribute To Claude Lemieux After His Death

President Trump is honoring the late Claude Lemieux, calling the former NHL star "a friend to the family" in a tribute that adds another layer to a player who was never short on presence. Lemieux built a reputation as one of the league’s most memorable playoff agitators, the kind of guy opposing fans never forgot even when they wished they could. The tribute makes clear that his reach went well beyond the ice and into circles that knew him personally.
