Jagr announced that he's back for another season with Rytiri Kladno, in the Extraliga.
Here's what he said:
Jagr, 51 years old, will start his 35th season in professional hockey.
He left the NHL in 2018 after 1733 games played. He may not have the same speed on the ice, but he remains an incredible player and a leader.
Since leaving the NHL, Jagr has played another six seasons, and while he's not as effective as he once was now that he's 51 years of age, he's still an incredible performer and a leader on the ice.
To say he's a legend in hockey is an understatement.
Do you think he'll be back in the NHL as a coach?
