A moment that shouldn't be all that surprising, has shocked the NHL as Zdeno Chara announced his retirement earlier this morning.
The longtime Boston Bruins captain will officially sign a one-day contract with the club during a press conference at TD Garden later today.
But before all that, �'Big Z'' took to Instagram to announce his retirement himself with an emotional post. Check his post out below. With the caption:
''After 25 seasons of professional hockey 1,680 NHL regular season games, 200 Stanley Cup Playoff games, and hundreds of international games I am proud to announce my decision to retire from the National Hockey League. In doing so, I am honored to return to TD Garden today to sign a one-day contract with the Boston Bruins and officially finish my career with the team that has meant so much to me and my family. There are so many people that have helped contribute to my success, including all of you, and I look forward to properly thanking everyone this afternoon.�'
