Sad news to pass on today as the father of NHL legend, majority owner and current forward of Kladno in the Czech league Jaromir Jagr has passed away.

His father, Jaromir Sr was 82.
Jaromir confirmed the news himself:
«If it's true that children choose their parents before birth, then my first decision was the best I've ever made. Thank you for everything, dad,»
wrote a grieving Jagr on Instagram.
Jagr has not played in the NHL since the 2017-2018 season, but is still the NHL's 2nd all-time leading scorer with 1,921 career points.
Jagr took over as majority owner of Kladno from his father back in 2011 as he saved the hockey club. Jagr always credited his father for introducing him to the game and looked to make him proud every time he jumped on the ice. He plays in all of their home games and last saw action in 2022. He plans to continue playing despite being 50 years old.
We sent our sincere condolences to the Jagr family.
