At the age of 30, Chuck is serving his seventh term as Commissioner of College Hockey East. He is in charge of the internal and external improvement of the 37 year old league. Kuzniewski has been involved with CHE dating back to 1995 when he was the very first General Manager of Robert Morris University Hockey.

After six seasons as commissioner, Kuzniewski is responsible for growth of our 11 member teams, the development of the College Hockey Association (CHA) which serves as a developmental league for new and restructuring teams.  Chuck has fostered new relationships with the high school/amateur programs, and instituted by-laws to maintain accountability. He is also responsible for the incursion of the ACHA into CHE along with encouraging the league's name change to reflect a broader market of institutions.

Kuzniewski possesses a unique resume that includes broadcasting for various sports, hosting the professional wrestling TV show IWC Ignition, traveling the world as a show basketball announcer, marketing manager for a golf course, and working along side of NHL Coach Kevin Constantine for youth hockey programs. His resume continues to grow as he currently works as the National Associate Director of High School Programs for The Art Institutes.

Born in Pittsburgh, PA, Kuzniewski grew up in Bethel Park and currently resides in Mt. Washington, PA. He is an avid golfer and enjoys spending time with his three nieces, Jenna, Lacey, and Heidi and five nephews Nathan, Lucas, Nicholas, Brandon, and Brett. He has three older sisters named Brenda, Kim, and Tracy. And still visits the folks Chuck and Bonnie at their new home in Bethel Park, PA.

Chuck was twice named the Top 20 Volunteer by the former Tri-State Area Hockey Association for his service during the 1996-97 and 1998-99 seasons.
