‘I stand with the Black community’: Zdeno Chara opens up after taking part in protest

Zdeno Chara has been the Bruins’ captain ever since he joined the team in 2006. In addition to being a leader on the ice, he’s taken his leadership skills off the ice too.

On Friday, Chara marched the streets of Brookline to protest the death of George Floyd. He shared his thoughts on Floyd’s death, racial equality, and what he learned from Friday’s protest.

“For the last 13 days I have been sick about George Floyd’s murder. I have taken time to think and listen. Time to find bravery and time to try to find the right words, though I’ll admit I’m still struggling.
