***Player Information/History***
*Jaromír Jágr (Czech pronunciation, born February 15, 1972) is a Czech professional ice hockey right winger currently playing for the New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League. He formerly played with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Washington Capitals, New York Rangers, Philadelphia Flyers, Dallas Stars and the Boston Bruins; serving as captain of the Penguins and the Rangers. After leaving the Rangers, he played for three seasons in the Kontinental Hockey League with Avangard Omsk before returning to the NHL with the Flyers.
He is the most productive European-born player who has ever played in the National Hockey League and is considered one of the greatest professional hockey players of all-time.
*Jaromir Jagr was the fifth overall selection in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft, and is the last player drafted in 1990 to still be active in the NHL. He won consecutive Stanley Cups in the 1991 and 1992 seasons with the Penguins.
He has won the Art Ross Trophy as the NHL scoring champion five times (four times in a row), the Lester B. Pearson Award for the NHL’s outstanding player as voted by the NHL Players’ Association three times, and the Hart Memorial Trophy as the league’s most valuable player once, while being a finalist an additional four times.
For two decades, from 1981 to 2001, only three players won the Art Ross Trophy as the leading point-scorer over the regular season: Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr. The streak ended when Jarome Iginla won the trophy in 2002. Jágr has won the award the most of any non-Canadian player.
He is also one of only 25 hockey players in the Triple Gold Club, who have played for teams that have won the Stanley Cup (1991, 1992), the Ice Hockey World Championships (2005, 2010), and the Olympic gold medal in ice hockey (1998).
Jágr is one of only two Czech players (the other being Jiří Šlégr) in the Triple Gold Club, achieving this feat in 2005. Jágr was the Czech Republic’s flag bearer for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics.
**Career overview**
Jaromir Jagr began skating at the age of three, and he immediately showed exceptional abilities. At the age of 16, he was playing at the highest level of competition in Czechoslovakia for HC Kladno.
**Pittsburgh Penguins (1990–2001)**
*Jágr was the first Czechoslovakian player to be drafted by the NHL without first having to defect to the West; his selection in the NHL draft came as the Iron Curtain was falling. Because of this, after Jágr was taken by the Pittsburgh Penguins with the fifth overall pick in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft, he was able to come immediately to North America from Czechoslovakia.
He was a supporting player with the powerhouse Penguins that won back-to-back Stanley Cups in 1991 and 1992. He was one of the youngest players in NHL history, at 20 years of age, to score a goal in the Stanley Cup finals.
*Before he had a clean grasp on the English language, he could be heard reading the daily weather forecast on Pittsburgh radio station WDVE in his broken, thickly accented English. He and teammate (and fellow countryman) Jiří Hrdina were promoted as the “Czechmates”, a play on the term “checkmate” from chess.
He would also play Scrabble in an attempt to increase his English vocabulary. Some Penguins fans realized that the letters in his first name could be scrambled to form the anagram “Mario Jr.”, a reference to teammate Mario Lemieux.
*In the 1994–95 NHL season Jágr won his first Art Ross Trophy as the scoring champion of the NHL. He tied Eric Lindros with 70 points but won based on his 32 goals to Lindros’ 29. The next year, Jágr set a record for most points, 149, by a European-born player. Both his 62 goals and 87 assists from that season still stand as career-highs. His 1995–96 totals for assists and points stand as the records for right-wingers in those categories.
After the 1997–98 season, captain Ron Francis signed with the Carolina Hurricanes, leaving Jágr the Penguins’ captaincy. From 1997–98 to 2000–01, Jágr would win four straight NHL scoring titles. In 1999, Jágr would win the Hart Memorial Trophy, as the NHL’s Most Valuable Player as well as the Lester B. Pearson Award. In 1998, he led the Czech Republic’s team to a gold medal at the Nagano Olympics.
