Jaromir Jagr hasn’t played in the National Hockey League since 2017, but the 50-year-old remains undefeated against father time. The soon-to-be 51-year-old, owner of the Kladno Knights in the Czech Extraliga, had to fill in due to a widespread illness decimating the roster, making his 2022-23 season debut on Sunday. And he looked pretty good, especially for a player of his age. Jagr suited up in the Knights’ contest against HC Bílí Tygři Liberec, tallying a pair of assists in over 15 minutes of ice time. His points came in a losing effort, as Kladno fell 7-3.

Friday’s contest between Kladno and Pardubice was postponed after the Knights couldn’t dress enough skaters due to the illness. But as the club faced a second straight postponement, Jagr opted to avoid that disastrous outcome, playing his first game since April. The 6-foot-3 forward further explained the situation to local reporters post-game, revealing the Knights were down to only 12 skaters the day before and could’ve faced discipline from the league if another game was postponed, forcing him to draw in from the owner’s box.

Here’s a look at Jaromir Jagr’s (@68Jagr) 2 primary assists today in his return for Kladno.
