David Kočí (born May 12, 1981 in Prague, Czechoslovakia) is a professional ice hockey player.  Currently he plays for the Chicago Blackhawks in the NHL in the enforcer role.  Kočí made his NHL debut on March 10, 2007, against the Phoenix Coyotes, and amassed 42 penalty minutes in three fights. He lost his first fight to Josh Gratton, but managed to get a rematch in which he fared much better. He fought defenseman Nick Boynton as well.

 

During the 2006-07 NHL season, he played in nine games and collected 88 penalty minutes.  That gives him 9.7 penalty minutes per game during the season.  According to the Chicago Blackhawks General Manager, Dale Tallon, Kočí will serve as the Chicago Blackhawks' enforcer for the 2007-08 season.

 

During the Blackhawks' loss to the Boston Bruins on October 25, 2007, Kočí got into the one of the nastiest hockey brawls in recent hockey memory with Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara. Kočí, who had broken his nose several days before, and Chara started punching each other; blood started to spatter from Kočí's nose. The Blackhawks placed Kočí on injured reserve and expected him to miss about two weeks.
