Zdeno Chara's journey to NHL super-stardom made a pit stop through Prince George BC, playing for the Prince George Cougars as a teenager in 1996.

The part of the story they didn't mention was that Chara planned on quitting hockey, but the people he was staying with apparently talked him into not giving up. At least that's the story I heard around the water cooler. I live in PG and my old man brought it up to me before.

Back home in Slovakia when Zee was young, his coach mr. Bokros (he is coaching Slovak junior team now) said he is never getting to be an hockey player. Then his dad stepped in and said, well i'm going to train him and make a good hockey player out of him. Few years ago Bokros stated that his statement was a big fail, and felt sorry for it. But hey, who would have guessed that a 6'9 behemoth would win a Stanley cup and Norris trophy?

I thought that Chara was just a novelty player at first. The Human Stick Man! I would never have thought that a big body like his would have such a long career in the NHL. It's been 23 years, and he's STILL playing!
