"I've heard announcers say I get stronger as the fight goes on." Dark Star Pictures has revealed another new, official Us trailer for the sports documentary Tough Guy: The Bob Probert Story, from director Geordie Day. We already featured the Canadian trailer for this late last year, but now there's another Us one to promote its release in theaters this month.

The full-length documentary features game footage, news reports, and never-before-seen home movies from Probert's life. He played for the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks during the late 1980s through the 1990s, getting into all kinds of trouble both on and off the ice. See below.

We do not do a love of sports related cinema content here but Tough Guy The Bob Probert Story is about hockey so it is our patriotic duty to oblige it. Canadian hockey player Bob Probert was one of the toughest bastards the league has seen and will ever see. His fights, especially his bouts with mighty mite Tie Domi, are the stuff of legend. His sudden death eight years was a emotional hit on the league and fans everywhere.

"When the fight was going on, did you see anybody get out of their seats and go for coffee?" Nothing like a hockey fight, right? An official trailer has debuted for a sports documentary titled Tough Guy: The Bob Probert Story, about a legendary NHL hockey player who loved to start fights on the ice. Naturally this film is debuting in Canada before it arrives in the Us sometime next year, and it seems to be aimed mostly towards hockey fans but might be compelling for a wider sports audience as well. Tough Guy is an intimate portrait of legendary NHL "tough guy" player Bob Probert, one half of the "Bruise Brothers", told through exclusive interviews with his family, friends, teammates and rivals. The full-length documentary features game footage, news reports, and never-before-seen home movies from Probert's life. Definitely worth a look.
