Penguins Legend Expected To Retire From Professional Hockey

The Pittsburgh Penguins are seeing one of their all-time players finally retire at the end of his 37th professional season.

Jaromir Jagr spent 11 years with Pittsburgh, totaling 439 goals, 640 assists, and 1,079 points over 806 games with the organization. As a result of his elite play, he saw his No. 68 retired on Feb. 18 by the team. This is all to say that the Penguins’ legend has played a lot more hockey than just those 11 seasons, and he’s finally ready to hang up the skates.

As stated by Jagr’s agent and reported by Bleacher Report, Jagr is set to finish up his career with Kladno of the Czechia League, the team he owns. Jagr also referred to this upcoming season as his last on his latest Instagram post.

Jaromir Jagr will play his final season of professional hockey this year for Kladno of the Czech league, per his agent.
