Zdeno Chara acknowledged his friendship with Dennis Polonich and his family from his earliest days in North American pro hockey on through becoming a Norris Trophy winner and captain of the Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins.

Comes with Dennis Polonich's signed LOA. “Chara” is stamped in white letters on the shaft of the All-Star defenseman’s Vic 9050 gamer with his number 3 written in black marker at the bottom of his well-worn white tape knob covered with its original blue gauze tape. “To: Polo, Thanks for being one of my best friends! Zdeno Chara 3”, reads the dedicated bold black marker autograph across Chara’s white tape job on the blade. Three names are written in black marker on the V on the lower “Vic” on the front of the shaft, just below a few wraps of clear tape which may be applied over a crack in the shaft.
