"Having played alongside Zdeno, I know firsthand the leadership, work ethic and professionalism he brings every day."
"His primary responsibilities will include building relationships and strengthening communication between players and coaches, attending practices and home games, and providing off-ice development support to defensemen."
"Zdeno built himself into one of the best players to ever play in the National Hockey League, and his personality and his commitment to everything he does, it just speaks for itself," Sweeney said of Chara. "And for him to be coming back to join us and to impart the leadership in a mentorship role, advisory role, I think is really exciting for the organization."
