Widely recognized as one of the best players to ever play in the NHL, with his 1,921 points in 1,733 games, Jagr was still active in Czechia when the Pittsburgh Penguins decided to retire his number in the rafters of the PPG Paints Arena. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHLPA/status/1759587238063522110'> </a></blockquote></div> In addition to the Pens, Jagr played three seasons for the Washington Capitals, four with the New York Rangers, two with the New Jersey Devils, three with the Florida Panthers, as well as one with the Philadelphia Flyers, Dallas Stars, Calgary Flames, and Boston Bruins. Also, he notably won two Stanley Cups with the Penguins in his first seasons in the NHL. Jagr will likely remain close to his team in the coming years, but he should also take some well-deserved vacations. We wish him the best as he enters the next chapter of his life.
