Former Boston Bruins captain Zdeno Chara didn't sit back after taking his retirement after an illustrious 24-season-long NHL career. In a recent interview, the towering 6 ft 9 in (2.06 m) tall Zdeno Chara, nicknamed "Big Z," opened up about his feelings on running his first 26.2-mile course and why it had to be in Boston.
“I wanted that to be where my first race was"
The Star defenseman made his mind to ace another athletic sport and ran the 128th Boston Marathon. Now, the Norris Trophy winner has said that he always wanted his first race to be in Boston.
“Knowing the town, knowing the streets. It was always so fun to watch during the hockey season when I was playing. I always wished to run a race there.”
