Zdeno Chara Still Dominates at 45
Description
Zdeno Chara, the NHL’s oldest active player and a veteran defenseman with over 20 years of experience, is still dominating the ice for the Washington Capitals — logging heavy minutes against top competition and mentoring alongside the son of a former teammate. After leaving Boston due to a limited role, he found a perfect fit in Washington, where his leadership, physicality, and relentless work ethic became crucial during a season plagued by injuries. His disciplined approach — shaped by his Olympic wrestler father — and evolution into a smarter, faster defender have kept him relevant well into his 40s. For Chara, every shift is a victory of grit, proving that dedication never ages out.
