Timeline
Joseph George "Joey" Kocur (born December 21, 1964) 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 2519 penalty minutes in stints with the Detroit Red Wings, the New York Rangers and the Vancouver Canucks.
Kocur had previously won a Stanley Cup ring as a member of the 1993-94 New York Rangers.
Kocur is president of the Detroit Red Wings Alumni Association and is active in its efforts to raise money for children's charities in Metro Detroit.
Kocur left the NHL following the 1996 season and was playing in the International Hockey League when the Red Wings brought him back during the 1996–97 season after captain Steve Yzerman recommended him to head coach Scotty Bowman.
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.
Kocur scored goals in the 1997 and 1998 Stanley Cup finals series, helping the Wings win the Stanley Cup both times.
Kocur officially retired at the end of the 1998–1999 season.
He served as a video coach to Scotty Bowman from the 2001 season until Bowman's retirement following the 2002 season.
Under head coach Dave Lewis, Kocur served as an associate coach along with Barry Smith; he was not asked to return after the hiring of coach Mike Babcock.
Kocur was best known for his devastating right-hand punch; he so frequently hit players with his right hand, often landing blows on their helmets or teeth, his right hand was often in poor condition.
In an interview, Donald Brashear described how Kocur cracked his helmet with his punches; though his helmet absorbed most of the blow, he still felt serious pain in his gums even on the other side of his face, leaving him unable to eat for a day or so.
Kocur's punches often seriously injured players, such as Brad Dalgarno of the New York Islanders, whose orbital bone, cheek bone, and jaw were fractured by Kocur.
In 2010, he created Kocur Enterprises and is a manufacturer's representative of specialty products serving commercial, industrial and municipal markets in several states.
In 2012, he started his own charity called "The Joe Kocur Foundation for Children".
The foundation holds an annual charity softball game in Highland Township Michigan every August.
Kocur lives in Michigan with his wife Kristen, son Liam, and daughter Kendall.
Along with former teammate Bob Probert, Kocur is featured in a book entitled Bruise Brothers by Bob Duff.
Kocur makes occasional cameo appearances playing adult league hockey in Waterford, Michigan.
On December 31, 2013, Kocur appeared in the second game of the NHL Alumni Showdown at Comerica Park in Detroit, part of the Hockeytown Winter Festival leading up to the 2014 NHL Winter Classic.
Kocur, who wore the number 26 sweater during his playing days, honored his deceased Bruise Brother, Bob Probert, by wearing Probert's number 24 sweater.
Kocur and his Grind Line Detroit Red Wings teammates were honored in the Fall of 2021 by the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame in Detroit.
