Zdeno Chara will not have the same break from playing that the rest of his teammates will enjoy during the All-Star festivities. While he will be joined by teammates Tyler Seguin and Tim Thomas in Ottawa to play in this year's All-Star game, Chara will also have the added responsibility of captaining his own team and drafting a varied cast of characters to play for Team Chara.

Yandle goes to Team Chara in All-Star draft
Keith Yandle had to wait around for a little while Thursday night, but not nearly as long as Logan Couture.
Yandle, the Coyotes' lone representative in the NHL All-Star Game, went in the 11th round (out of 19 rounds) of the All-Star draft, selected by team captain Daniel Alfredsson of the host Senators. Yandle was the fifth defenseman selected for Alfredsson's team and...
Team Chara Includes Current and Former Bruins
The scene that took place in Ottawa last night during the NHL All Star draft selection is a scene that most of us fans can connect to: the dreaded picking of teammates by one person to complete a team to compete against the other. Most of us fans have been there before, albeit it was probably on an elementary school playground. For some people, the infamous pick-em lineup was...
NHL All-Star Game Video: Carey Price Snubs Zdeno Chara
So the NHL All-Stars did their draft yesterday and Habs goaltender, Carey Price, was selected by Team Chara.
This is perhaps a bit of a surprise considering Zdeno Chara's assistant for the draft was Joffrey Lupul, of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Still, it's all in good fun and Price will be playing alongside Chara, Tim Thomas, Lupul and others from the Bruins and Leafs...
Zdeno Chara Selects Both Tim Thomas, Tyler Seguin During NHL All-Star Game Fantasy Draft
The rounds passed by rather quickly and with each passing round, the obvious question started to be asked. Would Zdeno Chara really let teammate Tyler Seguin be the last pick in the NHL All-Star Game fantasy draft? The answer? No, he wouldn't. Chara saved his Bruins teammate any potential embarrassment by taking Seguin in the second-to-last round of the second annual draft. After...

NHL All-Star Draft: Penquins on different teams
Last night was the NHL All Star Draft for the game this weekend. I think this is so genius and so much fun to have two captains pick their own team rather than just doing East versus the West. Could you imagine if the NFL did the Pro Bowl like that? The two captains were Ottawa’s Daniel Alfredsson and Boston’s Zdeno Chara.
I was a little surprised that Evgeni...

Bill Meltzer: Star Gazing: 1/27/12
Last night's All-Star "draft" was a rather predictable affair, although the participants had some fun with it. Daniel Alfredsson picked all of his Ottawa Senators teammates and all of the fellow Swedes participating in the game. Zdeno Chara picked both Bruins (plus former Bruin Dennis Wideman) and both fellow Slovaks.
Jamie Benn, as a first-time, low-profile All...
