Zdeno Chara's Hockey Sticks Accidentally Shipped to New Jersey Man's Home

Hockey sticks belonging to defenseman were accidentally sent to a New Jersey man's home.

In a story covered by ESPN's Greg Wyshynski, Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic and others, Ariel Ben-Abraham was surprised to find a set of 17-20 hockey sticks measuring 67" each.

Ben-Abraham, who owns the Create Supply clothing company, put two and two together by reading the address label (designated for the Washington Capitals' practice facility) and a "Chara 33" stamp on the stick shafts and correctly figured that they were meant for the 43-year-old defenseman.

The 20-year-old then tweeted at the Capitals and Chara:

It's unclear why the shipment was sent to Ben-Abraham.
