There have been some superstar players go through the Boston Bruins organization, and when you think of the Bruins, long time captain Zdeno Chara demands the respect of being one of the best ever to bear the black and gold.

Chara has been a fan favourite whenever he goes, and he made the hard decision this past offseason to hang up the skates. But despite hanging up the skates, he is still extremely active and was very excited today to share some big news to Boston fans:

EXCITING NEWS! I'm so happy to announce that I am running my very first marathon, and what better first marathon than the Boston Marathon on April 17th! In addition, I'm running to support The Thomas E. Smith Foundation & The Hoyt Foundation. Dick and Rick Hoyt made an incredible impact on millions of people worldwide and personally helped to motivate us to our 2011 Stanley Cup Championship. The Hoyt Foundation has an amazing legacy with the B.A.A. and this iconic marathon. Tom Smith is one of the most resilient and inspiring stories. With his passion and dedication, his foundation continuously helps those affected by and living with paralysis. If you'd like to make a contribution to The Hoyt Foundation & The Thomas E. Smith Foundation, please click the donation link in my bio. Hope to see you along the course, come cheer us on!

It's often been said that one of the most intense offseason trainers has been Zdeno Chara, and even at the age of 46, he continues to push his body to be active.

Good for you Big Z!
