Gregory Joseph "Joey" Kocur (born December 21, 1964)[1] is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player.
He is best known for his activities as a fighter and enforcer, as well as being one half of the "Bruise Brothers" with then- Detroit Red Wings teammate Bob Probert, during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Known for his physical play, Kocur was one of the most penalized players in NHL history, amassing a career total of 2,519 penalty minutes in stints with the Detroit Red Wings, the New York Rangers and the Vancouver Canucks.
[2] Although he did not fight as much as in his younger days, Kocur brought an element of toughness to the Wings that had been lost with the departures of Probert and Stu Grimson.
In 2010, he created Kocur Enterprises and is a manufacturer's representative of specialty products serving commercial, industrial and municipal markets in several states.
