Jaromir Jagr scores first goal of his final professional hockey season
Jaromir Jagr scored first goal of his final professional hockey season on Friday with Kladno in Czechia.
One day after confirming that he'll retire at the end of the season, future Hall of Famer Jaromir Jagr put on a show with his Czech club, Kladno Knights.
Kladno was taking on Sparta Praha on Friday for their second game of the 2024-25 Czech Extraliga season and after registering an assist in their first contest of the year, Jaromir Jagr was able to find the back of the net today.
Jagr, who was deep in Sparta Praha's zone, received a pass from his teammate at the blue line, spun around and shot the puck, which squeezed through the goalie's five-hole and into the net, giving Kladno a 3-0 lead at the time.
Yes, it's early, but with the goal, Jaromir Jagr is now up to a point-per-game this season. At 52-years-old and in his 37th season of professional hockey, that's an incredible feat and it's going to be interesting to see if he's able to sustain this pace throughout the year.
Jagr will look to make it three games in a row with a point on Sunday as Kladno takes on HC Litvinov, who's roster features former NHLer Ondrej Kase.
