Chuck Kuzniewski has been involved with CHE dating back to 1995, when he was the very first General Manager of the first hockey team Robert Morris College (now Robert Morris University).  His most-significant contributions to the CHE came during his 10-year tenure as the league's Commissioner from 2002 to 2011.  Kuzniewski was responsible for the league reaching national-acclaim within the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) by expanding its membership, solidifying its structure, raising its profile, and increasing its standards.

Kuzniewski sparked the initiative to change the name of the league from the Western Pennsylvania Collegiate Hockey Association (WPCHA) to College Hockey East in 2002, reflecting the broader market of institutions within the league.  He was then at the helm for the creation of the College Hockey Association (CHA) in 2004, which now operates as additional men's divisions under the CHE banner.  The formation of this league opened up new opportunities for many colleges within the region to form and grow club hockey programs on campus.  Kuzniewski fostered new relationships with the high school/amateur programs and instituted league by-laws to maintain standards and accountability. He is also responsible for the incorporation of the ACHA into CHE, where the CHE was quickly recognized as a premier club league.

In honor of his contributions to College Hockey East, the league named their top championship award after Kuzniewski in 2014.  The Kuzniewski Championship is now presented annually to the Men's Division 3 playoff champion in the form of a gold-plated belt.  The belt was designed by Kuznewski himself and symbolizes his passion for hockey, professional wrestling, and high achievement.

Kuzniewski possesses a unique resume that includes broadcasting for various sports, owning a professional wrestling league named IWC, traveling the world as a show basketball announcer, working as a marketing manager for a golf course, and serving along side of former NHL Coach Kevin Constantine for youth hockey programs. His resume continues to grow as he currently works as the National Senior Associate Director of High School Programs for The Art Institutes and serves as the Head Coach of the men's club golf team at Robert Morris.

Kuzniewski was raised in Bethel Park, PA, and currently resides in Scott Township, PA, with his wife Dana and stepson Vinny. He is an avid golfer and serves as the Head Coach of the club golf team at Robert Morris University. Kuzniewski has three older sisters named Brenda, Kim, and Tracy, and he often visits his father Chuck to recall fond memories of his beloved mother Bonnie.
