Still playing pro hockey and the team couldn’t even wait any longer. What a legend.

GOAT!

Their arena should be named after him.
The Lemieux to Jagr to the Back of the Net Colosseum has a nice ring to it.

If the title was “Jagr to finally retire at 68” I would’ve been equally as unsurprised.

The league should Retire 68. The best European player of all time.

Plus it feels like he has played for 2/3 of the teams in the league.

Also one of the most recognizable and loved players for a generation of hockey fans. He would definitely be worthy of it.

Word is they'll have Jagr's favorite player there as well to help honor him.

Jagr, Ovie, Hasek and Lidstrom all have a claim to the title of best European player ever.

The story behind that picture always makes me chuckle.
Also, kind of rude to retire the number before the player retires. SMH.

It looks like he hasn't played any games for Kladno this season, so maybe this is his low-key way of announcing his retirement.

I should buy one of the knock off jagr flames jerseys. I bet they're still sitting in China somewhere.

Well since Jagr will be in attendance I'd imagine he's agreed to it.
