Jaromir Jagr scores in first professional hockey match since he was 52

 


KLADNO, Czech Republic – Jaromir Jagr returned to action Thursday for the first time since he was 52 and scored immediately as he surpassed legend Gordie Howe to become the oldest regular substitute player in professional ice hockey.

Howe, known as “Mr. Hockey”, was 52 years and 11 days old when he played his last NHL game in 1980. The Canadian later played a single-team stint with the Detroit Vipers in the International Hockey League at the age of 69 1997. Howe died in 2016.

Jagr had not played since February 10 – five days before he turned 52 – and rejoined his Kladno Knights, a top division team from his hometown of the Czech Republic, in the second match of a play-off relegation series against Vsetin .

The former NHL great in his first shift was unmarked as he collected the puck in front of the goal and scored to give Kladno a 1-0 lead 1:59 into the game.

It was Jagr's 16th game in his 36th professional season. He also added an assist.

Kladno won the match 7–2 and took a 2–0 lead in the best-of-seven series.

During his break, Jagr traveled to Pittsburgh where the Penguins retired his iconic No. 68 on February 18.

Jagr played 11 seasons with the Penguins, winning Stanley Cup titles in 1991 and 1992.

Jagr made his debut for Kladno as a teenager and returned to the club – which he now owns – in 2018 after the Calgary Flames released the NHL's second all-time leading scorer.

It is not clear when he will retire.
