Whether it be a broken jaw, torn ligaments, or a shattered elbow, Zdeno Chara was no stranger to playing through pain during his illustrious 24-year NHL career.
But the former Bruins captain and future Hall of Famer will take part in a new physical gauntlet next month, as Chara announced on Instagram Sunday that he will run in the 2023 Boston Marathon on April 17.
“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,” Chara said in his social-media post.
