He and his teammate (and fellow countryman), Jiri Hrdina was promoted as "Czechmates", a play on the term "checkmate" from chess. He would also play Scrabble in an effort to increase their English vocabulary. Some Penguins fans realized that the letters in his given name could be mixed to create anagram "Mario Jr.", a reference to teammate Mario Lemieux.

He is one of a very elite group of hockey players to have won the [[Stanley Cup]] (1991, 1992), the [[Ice Hockey World Championships]] (2005, 2010), and the Olympic gold medal in the [[Ice hockey at the Olympic Games|ice hockey tournament]] (1998).

==Career overview==
In 2000-01, Jagr tried to find his scoring touch and faced criticism about his relationship with coach Ivan Hlinka.With the return of Mario Lemieux from retirement, the Penguins had two stars, but the tension developed between them, Jagr held the captaincy but many fans considered Lemieux talisman of the team. It could fight, a small market Penguins, Lemieux is back, I hope Jagr allow massive salary.

[[File:JJagrPitt.jpg|thumb|200px|Jagr with the Penguins]]
Later that year the Capitals signed Jagr to the biggest contract in NHL history (at the time) - $ 77 million for 7 years for an average salary of $ 11 million per year, with eight years. However, Jagr did not meet expectations because the principal failed to defend their division title and missed the playoffs in 2002. Although it met the main linemate Robert Lang in the summer of 2002, Jagr failed to finish among the best shooters the league or postseason All-Star team during his time with the Capitals. In 2002-03 Washington managed to finish sixth overall in the Eastern Conference, but lost to the upstart Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round of the playoffs Despite winning the first two games.

===Pittsburgh Penguins===
It made caps, unload much of their expensive talent in order to save money, not just cost reduction Spree, but also recognizing that their attempt to create a contender with an expensive veteran talent failed. Dissatisfied, the ownership of Washington spent much of 2003 trying to trade Jagr, but a year before a new collective agreement to be signed, few teams were willing to risk $ 11 million on Jagr.

23rd January 2004 he was traded to the New York Rangers for Anson Carter, and an agreement that Washington will pay about four million U.S. dollars a year pay Jagr. Jagr also agreed to defer (with interest) $ 1,000,000 per year for the remainder of his contract to continue trading.

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. 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 NHL season|1995–96]] totals for assists and points stand as the records for right-wingers in those categories. After the 1997–98 season, Ron Francis signed with the Carolina Hurricanes, leaving Jágr the Penguins' captaincy. From [[1997–98 NHL season|1997–98]] to [[2000–01 NHL season|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 [[1998 Winter Olympics|Nagano Olympics]].

In addition to his hockey skills, Jágr was also well-known for sporting a mullet throughout much of his career.

On December 30, 1999 Jagr scored 3 goals and 4 assists for a 7 point night against the New York Islanders.

In 2000–01, Jágr was struggling to find his scoring touch and faced criticisms about his relationship with coach [[Ivan Hlinka]].<ref name="Struggle">{{cite news|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/hockey/nhl/news/2000/12/09/frustrated_jagr_ap/|title=Super disappointment|accessdate=2006-09-26|year=2000 | work=CNN}}</ref> With the return of Mario Lemieux from retirement, the Penguins had two superstars but friction developed between the two; Jágr held the captaincy but many fans regarded Lemieux as the talisman of the team. Also, the struggling, small-market Penguins could, with Lemieux back, no longer hope to afford Jágr's massive salary. Thus on July 11, 2001, they traded him (along with [[František Kučera]]) to the [[Washington Capitals]] for [[Kris Beech]], [[Michal Sivek]] and [[Ross Lupaschuk]].
  +
  +
===Washington Capitals===
  +
Later that year the Capitals signed Jágr to the largest contract ever in NHL history (at that time)—$77 million over 7 years at an average salary of $11 million per year, with an option for an eighth year. However, Jágr did not live up to expectations, as the Capitals failed to defend their division title and missed the playoffs in 2002. Even when the Capitals reunited him with linemate [[Robert Lang (ice hockey)|Robert Lang]] during summer 2002, Jágr failed to finish among the league's top scorers or make the postseason All-Star Team during his time with the Capitals. In [[2002–03 NHL season|2002–03]] Washington managed to finish 6th overall in the Eastern Conference, but lost to the upstart [[Tampa Bay Lightning]] in the first round of the playoffs despite winning the first two games.

  +
This prompted the Caps to unload much of their high-priced talent in order to save money—not just a cost-cutting spree, but also an acknowledgement that their attempt to build a contender with high-priced veteran talent had failed. Disgruntled, the Washington ownership spent much of 2003 trying to trade Jágr, but a year before a new [[NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement|Collective Bargaining Agreement]] was to be signed, few teams were willing to risk $11 million on Jágr.
  +
  +
On January 23, 2004, he was traded to the [[New York Rangers]] for [[Anson Carter]] and an agreement that Washington would pay approximately four million dollars per year of Jágr's salary. Jágr also agreed to defer (with interest) $1 million per year for the remainder of his contract to allow the trade to go ahead.<ref name="trade">{{cite web|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=1716156|title=Capitals get Carter in return|accessdate=2007-08-25|publisher=espn.com|date=2004-01-26}}</ref>

  +
===New York Rangers===
  +
However, due to the new collective bargaining agreement signed before the start of the [[2005–06 NHL season|2005–06 season]], Jágr's salary was subsequently reduced to $7.8 million, the maximum allowed under the terms of the new salary cap.
  +
  +
During the [[2004–05 NHL lockout|NHL labor dispute in 2004–05]], he played for [[HC Kladno]] in the Czech Republic, and afterward for the [[Avangard Omsk|Avangard]] ice-hockey team at [[Omsk]] in Russia.
  +
  +
Jaromír led the Czech Republic to gold at the [[2005 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships|2005 World Hockey Championships]] in Austria; and was elected a tournament all-star in the process. He also became a member of hockey's prestigious [[Triple Gold Club]], players who have won a [[Stanley Cup]], a [[Ice Hockey World Championships|World Hockey Championship]], and an [[Olympic Games|Olympic]] gold medal.
  +
  +
Prior to the 2005–06 season, the Rangers had missed the playoffs for seven consecutive seasons. Following the fire sale of the high-priced underachieving veterans that made up the team's roster, as well as the retirement of long-time captain [[Mark Messier]], many experts picked the Rangers to be the worst team in the NHL. Jágr disagreed and promised the team would surprise a lot of people and make the Stanley Cup playoffs. He started strong during the beginning of the 2005 season and the return from the lockout of the NHL. He became only the fourth player in NHL history to score 10 or more goals in less than 10 games at the start of a season. His return to dominance helped the Rangers return to the Stanley Cup playoffs, but injuries to Jágr and others contributed to a quick Ranger exit in a first round sweep of the Broadway Blueshirts by the archnemesis [[New Jersey Devils]].
  +
  +
Jágr scored his 1,400th point on a power play goal against the [[Philadelphia Flyers]] on March 2, 2006, pushing him past [[Jari Kurri]] into second place all-time among European-born players. He later passed [[Stan Mikita]] to become the all-time leader.
  +
  +
On March 18, 2006, against the [[Toronto Maple Leafs]], Jágr became only the sixth Rangers player in team history to break the 100-point barrier, and became the only Ranger right winger to score 100 points in a season.
  +
  +
On March 27, 2006, against the [[Buffalo Sabres]], Jágr had a goal and an assist, which tied both the Rangers' single-season goal record of 52 ([[Adam Graves]], [[1993–94 NHL season|1993–94]]) and the Rangers' single season points record of 109 ([[Jean Ratelle]], [[1971–72 NHL season|1971–72]]). Two nights later, on March 29, 2006, Jágr passed Ratelle when he assisted on [[Petr Průcha]]'s first-period goal against the [[New York Islanders]]' [[Rick DiPietro]]. 9 days later, on April 8, against the [[Boston Bruins]], Jágr scored his league-leading 53rd goal of the season, breaking the Rangers' single-season goals record.

  +
After leading the league in points and goals for most of 2005–06, Jágr was passed by the [[San Jose Sharks]]' duo of [[Joe Thornton]] (125 points) and [[Jonathan Cheechoo]] (56 goals), losing both the Art Ross and Maurice Richard trophies in the final week of the season. Jágr finished with 123 points, 54 goals, and 24 power-play goals, second in the league in all three categories. He finished third in the league in both assists, with 69, and [[Plus/minus|+/-]], at +34. Despite being inched out by Thornton for the Art Ross Trophy and Hart Trophy (league MVP), Jágr won his third Lester B. Pearson Award as the league's outstanding player. However, just as in Washington, playoff success was not to be for Jágr, whose Rangers were swept four games to none by the New Jersey Devils. Jágr suffered a [[shoulder problems|dislocated shoulder]] in the third period of the first game of the series, which kept him from playing at his top form for the rest of the series. Jágr had surgery on the shoulder after the Rangers were eliminated from the playoffs.<ref name="Shoulder">{{cite web|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=2437895|title=Rangers' Jágr has shoulder surgery|accessdate=2006-09-26|publisher=ESPN.com News Services|year=2006}}</ref>
  +
  +
On October 5, 2006, before the first game of the [[2006–07 NHL season]] against the [[Washington Capitals]], Jágr was named as the 24th [[Captain (ice hockey)|captain]] in the history of the New York Rangers, replacing [[Mark Messier]], who retired before the 2005–06 season. Jágr then proceeded to score a goal on his very first shift in the game, just under 30 seconds into the new season.
  +
  +
On November 19, 2006, he scored his 600th career NHL goal on [[Tampa Bay Lightning|Tampa Bay]] goalie [[Johan Holmqvist]], making him the 16th player in NHL history to do so. Power play linemate [[Brendan Shanahan]] had scored his 600th goal almost three weeks earlier, making them the first teammates in NHL history to score their 600th goal in the same season.
  +
  +
On February 10, 2007, against the [[Washington Capitals]], Jágr earned an [[Assist (ice hockey)|assist]] on a goal by [[Michal Rozsíval]] to record his 1,500th career point. He is only the 12th NHLer to reach this mark. He is the fourth fastest player to score his 1,500th point after [[Marcel Dionne]], [[Mario Lemieux]] and [[Wayne Gretzky]].
  +
  +
On April 5, 2007, against the [[Montreal Canadiens]], Jágr scored his 30th goal of the [[2006–07 NHL season]] to record 15 consecutive seasons of 30 or more goals. This tied the NHL record of consecutive 30-goal seasons held by [[Mike Gartner]].
  +
  +
After a regular season slowed by a weak shoulder, he led the New York Rangers to a sweep of the [[Atlanta Thrashers]] in the [[Eastern Conference (NHL)|Eastern Conference]] Quarterfinals. The Rangers would fall to the [[Buffalo Sabres]] in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
  +
  +
On November 14, 2007, against the New Jersey Devils, Jágr scored his 4th goal of the [[2007–08 NHL season]] at the [[Prudential Center]] in [[Newark, New Jersey]], making him the only player to score a goal in 53 different NHL arenas.
  +
  +
Jágr finished his NHL career 13th all-time goals scored (646), 9th all-time in points (1599) and 7th all-time in points per game (1.256).
  +
  +
Even though Jagr had departed the league after the 2008 season he left an impression with Ranger fans with the team salute that he created. After every Rangers home win, Jagr would direct the players to center ice and have the whole team follow in saluting the fans by raising their sticks in the air before departing the ice. The tradition is still carried on by the Rangers for every home win.
  +
  +
===Avangard Omsk===
  +
On July 3, 2008, Jágr, now a [[free agent]] for the first time in his career, was informed by Rangers GM [[Glen Sather]] that the club was moving on without him. Sather admitted that the two sides never engaged in detailed negotiations for a new contract, and that after many months of speculation, Jágr was "seriously considering" going to Russia to finish his career, despite offers from other NHL teams.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newsday.com/sports/hockey/rangers/ny-sprang0704,0,5525930.story|title=Never close to a deal, Rangers say goodbye to Jagr|accessdate=2008-07-03|publisher=[[Newsday]]|year=2008}}</ref> A day later, these reports came true, when Jágr agreed to a two-year deal with [[Avangard Omsk]] of the [[Kontinental Hockey League]]; the deal will reportedly pay Jágr the equivalent US$10 million annually.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=242465|title=Jagr signs two-year deal with Avangard Omsk|accessdate=2008-07-04|publisher=[[The Sports Network|TSN.ca]]|year=2008}}</ref>

Jágr has also expressed desires to finish out his career at his father's club, [[HC Kladno]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/05/sports/hockey/05jagr.html?ref=hockey.story|title=Jagr's New York Exit Becomes N.H.L.

Jaromír Jágr was sitting next to [[Alexei Cherepanov]] when Cherepanov, first pick of the New York Rangers, died. They were discussing the past shift when Cherepanov collapsed right next to Jágr. Jágr was named Avangard's captain on January 30, 2009.
  +
  +
In April 2009, Jágr publicly stated an interest in returning to the NHL, stating that he really just needed a break from the pressures of an 82 game NHL schedule. Jágr, who claimed to have lost 15 pounds since his last NHL season, and who was "practicing a lot harder than [he] ever did in [his] life" stated he would be interested in joining the [[Edmonton Oilers]] because of the interest they showed in July 2008. However, following the expiration of his original contract with Avangard, Jagr re-signed with Avangard for the 2010-11 KHL season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=5165917|title=Jagr stays with Avangard Omsk|publisher=ESPN (via Associated Press)|date=2010-05-06|accessdate=2010-05-06}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=277073|title=Jagr Says Oilers Would be His First Choice for Return to NHL|accessdate=2009-05-02|publisher=[[The Sports Network|TSN]]|year=2009}}</ref>

Although he has repeatedly denied that he has a gambling problem, he admitted in 2003 that he settled debts totaling US$950,000 with two internet gambling sites between 1998 and 2002. The first of these incidents centered on [[Belize]]-based website ''CaribSports'' and its owner, [[William Caesar]], to which Jágr owed US$500,000. ''[[Sports Illustrated]]'' reported that Jágr agreed to make monthly payments to Caesar to settle the debt, and Caesar leaked the story to the press when Jágr stopped making payments.<ref name="Lein">{{cite news|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/si_online/news/2003/03/12/scorecard/|title=Capital Losses|accessdate=2006-09-26|publisher=Sports Illustrated|year=2003|author=Michael Farber and Don Yaeger}}</ref> In 2003, the [[Internal Revenue Service]] filed a US$3.27 million [[lien]] against him for unpaid taxes for the 2001 tax year.

Jaromír Jágr (Czech pronunciation: [ˈjaromiːr ˈjaːɡr̩]  (Speaker Icon listen); born February 15, 1972) is a Czech ice hockey right winger who plays for Avangard Omsk in the Kontinental Hockey League. Jágr formerly played in the National Hockey League with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Washington Capitals, and New York Rangers, serving as captain of the Penguins and the Rangers, as well as for Avangard.

Jágr was the fifth overall selection in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft. He won two consecutive Stanley Cups in the 1991 and 1992 seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins. In his career he has won the Art Ross Trophy as the NHL's leading point scorer five times, received the Lester B. Pearson Award as voted by the NHL Players' Association three times, and won a Hart Trophy as the league's most valuable player. He has been named to seven NHL First All-Star Teams. Jágr is currently in the top fifteen among players in NHL career goals, assists and points (as of the end of the 2008–09 NHL season), and is the all-time leader among European trained players in all three categories.[1] Jágr recently was chosen as the Czech Republic's flag bearer for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics.

He is one of a very elite group of hockey players to have won the Stanley Cup (1991, 1992), the Ice Hockey World Championships (2005, 2010), and the Olympic gold medal in the ice hockey tournament (1998). This is known as the Triple Gold Club, and Jagr is one of only 2 Czech players in the Triple Gold club, the 15th player to complete it out of 24 total, as of June 2010.[2]

Career overview

Jágr began skating at the age of three. At the age of 16, he was playing at the highest level of competition in Czechoslovakia for HC Kladno.

Pittsburgh Penguins

Jágr was the first Czechoslovak player to be drafted by the NHL without first having to defect to the West.[3] He was taken by the Pittsburgh Penguins with the fifth overall pick in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft. He was a supporting player with the powerhouse Penguins that won back-to-back Stanley Cups in 1991 and 1992. He was the youngest player in NHL history, at 19 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. 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, 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.

In addition to his hockey skills, Jágr was also well-known for sporting a mullet throughout much of his career.

On December 30, 1999 Jagr scored 3 goals and 4 assists for a 7 point night against the New York Islanders.

In 2000–01, Jágr was struggling to find his scoring touch and faced criticisms about his relationship with coach Ivan Hlinka.[4] With the return of Mario Lemieux from retirement, the Penguins had two superstars but friction developed between the two; Jágr held the captaincy but many fans regarded Lemieux as the talisman of the team. Also, the struggling, small-market Penguins could, with Lemieux back, no longer hope to afford Jágr's massive salary. Thus on July 11, 2001, they traded him (along with František Kučera) to the Washington Capitals for Kris Beech, Michal Sivek and Ross Lupaschuk.

Washington Capitals

Later that year the Capitals signed Jágr to the largest contract ever in NHL history (at that time)—$77 million over 7 years at an average salary of $11 million per year, with an option for an eighth year. However, Jágr did not live up to expectations, as the Capitals failed to defend their division title and missed the playoffs in 2002. Even when the Capitals reunited him with linemate Robert Lang during summer 2002, Jágr failed to finish among the league's top scorers or make the postseason All-Star Team during his time with the Capitals. In 2002–03 Washington managed to finish 6th overall in the Eastern Conference, but lost to the upstart Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round of the playoffs despite winning the first two games.

This prompted the Caps to unload much of their high-priced talent in order to save money—not just a cost-cutting spree, but also an acknowledgement that their attempt to build a contender with high-priced veteran talent had failed. Disgruntled, the Washington ownership spent much of 2003 trying to trade Jágr, but a year before a new Collective Bargaining Agreement was to be signed, few teams were willing to risk $11 million on Jágr.

On January 23, 2004, he was traded to the New York Rangers for Anson Carter and an agreement that Washington would pay approximately four million dollars per year of Jágr's salary. Jágr also agreed to defer (with interest) $1 million per year for the remainder of his contract to allow the trade to go ahead.[5]

However, due to the new collective bargaining agreement signed before the start of the 2005–06 season, Jágr's salary was subsequently reduced to $7.8 million, the maximum allowed under the terms of the new salary cap.

During the NHL labor dispute in 2004–05, he played for HC Kladno in the Czech Republic, and afterward for the Avangard ice-hockey team at Omsk in Russia.

Jaromír led the Czech Republic to gold at the 2005 World Hockey Championships in Austria; and was elected a tournament all-star in the process. He also became a member of hockey's prestigious Triple Gold Club, players who have won a Stanley Cup, a World Hockey Championship, and an Olympic gold medal.

Prior to the 2005–06 season, the Rangers had missed the playoffs for seven consecutive seasons. Following the fire sale of the high-priced underachieving veterans that made up the team's roster, as well as the retirement of long-time captain Mark Messier, many experts picked the Rangers to be the worst team in the NHL. Jágr disagreed and promised the team would surprise a lot of people and make the Stanley Cup playoffs. He started strong during the beginning of the 2005 season and the return from the lockout of the NHL. He became only the fourth player in NHL history to score 10 or more goals in less than 10 games at the start of a season. His return to dominance helped the Rangers return to the Stanley Cup playoffs, but injuries to Jágr and others contributed to a quick Ranger exit in a first round sweep of the Broadway Blueshirts by the archnemesis New Jersey Devils.

Jágr scored his 1,400th point on a power play goal against the Philadelphia Flyers on March 2, 2006, pushing him past Jari Kurri into second place all-time among European-born players. He later passed Stan Mikita to become the all-time leader.

On March 18, 2006, against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Jágr became only the sixth Rangers player in team history to break the 100-point barrier, and became the only Ranger right winger to score 100 points in a season.

On March 27, 2006, against the Buffalo Sabres, Jágr had a goal and an assist, which tied both the Rangers' single-season goal record of 52 (Adam Graves, 1993–94) and the Rangers' single season points record of 109 (Jean Ratelle, 1971–72). Two nights later, on March 29, 2006, Jágr passed Ratelle when he assisted on Petr Průcha's first-period goal against the New York Islanders' Rick DiPietro. 9 days later, on April 8, against the Boston Bruins, Jágr scored his league-leading 53rd goal of the season, breaking the Rangers' single-season goals record.

After leading the league in points and goals for most of 2005–06, Jágr was passed by the San Jose Sharks' duo of Joe Thornton (125 points) and Jonathan Cheechoo (56 goals), losing both the Art Ross and Maurice Richard trophies in the final week of the season. Jágr finished with 123 points, 54 goals, and 24 power-play goals, second in the league in all three categories. He finished third in the league in both assists, with 69, and +/-, at +34. Despite being inched out by Thornton for the Art Ross Trophy and Hart Trophy (league MVP), Jágr won his third Lester B. Pearson Award as the league's outstanding player. However, just as in Washington, playoff success was not to be for Jágr, whose Rangers were swept four games to none by the New Jersey Devils. Jágr suffered a dislocated shoulder in the third period of the first game of the series, which kept him from playing at his top form for the rest of the series. Jágr had surgery on the shoulder after the Rangers were eliminated from the playoffs.[6]

On October 5, 2006, before the first game of the 2006–07 NHL season against the Washington Capitals, Jágr was named as the 24th captain in the history of the New York Rangers, replacing Mark Messier, who retired before the 2005–06 season. Jágr then proceeded to score a goal on his very first shift in the game, just under 30 seconds into the new season.

On November 19, 2006, he scored his 600th career NHL goal on Tampa Bay goalie Johan Holmqvist, making him the 16th player in NHL history to do so. Power play linemate Brendan Shanahan had scored his 600th goal almost three weeks earlier, making them the first teammates in NHL history to score their 600th goal in the same season.

On February 10, 2007, against the Washington Capitals, Jágr earned an assist on a goal by Michal Rozsíval to record his 1,500th career point. He is only the 12th NHLer to reach this mark. He is the fourth fastest player to score his 1,500th point after Marcel Dionne, Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky.

On April 5, 2007, against the Montreal Canadiens, Jágr scored his 30th goal of the 2006–07 NHL season to record 15 consecutive seasons of 30 or more goals. This tied the NHL record of consecutive 30-goal seasons held by Mike Gartner.

After a regular season slowed by a weak shoulder, he led the New York Rangers to a sweep of the Atlanta Thrashers in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. The Rangers would fall to the Buffalo Sabres in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

On November 14, 2007, against the New Jersey Devils, Jágr scored his 4th goal of the 2007–08 NHL season at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, making him the only player to score a goal in 53 different NHL arenas.

Jágr finished his NHL career 13th all-time goals scored (646), 9th all-time in points (1599) and 7th all-time in points per game (1.256).

Even though Jagr had departed the league after the 2008 season he left an impression with Ranger fans with the team salute that he created. After every Rangers home win, Jagr would direct the players to center ice and have the whole team follow in saluting the fans by raising their sticks in the air before departing the ice. The tradition is still carried on by the Rangers for every home win.

Avangard Omsk

On July 3, 2008, Jágr, now a free agent for the first time in his career, was informed by Rangers GM Glen Sather that the club was moving on without him. Sather admitted that the two sides never engaged in detailed negotiations for a new contract, and that after many months of speculation, Jágr was "seriously considering" going to Russia to finish his career, despite offers from other NHL teams.[7] A day later, these reports came true, when Jágr agreed to a two-year deal with Avangard Omsk of the Kontinental Hockey League; the deal will reportedly pay Jágr the equivalent US$10 million annually.[8]

Jágr has also expressed desires to finish out his career at his father's club, HC Kladno.[9]

Jaromír Jágr was sitting next to Alexei Cherepanov when Cherepanov, first pick of the New York Rangers, died. They were discussing the past shift when Cherepanov collapsed right next to Jágr. Jágr was named Avangard's captain on January 30, 2009.

In April 2009, Jágr publicly stated an interest in returning to the NHL, stating that he really just needed a break from the pressures of an 82 game NHL schedule. Jágr, who claimed to have lost 15 pounds since his last NHL season, and who was "practicing a lot harder than [he] ever did in [his] life" stated he would be interested in joining the Edmonton Oilers because of the interest they showed in July 2008. However, following the expiration of his original contract with Avangard, Jagr re-signed with Avangard for the 2010-11 KHL season.[10][11]

Off-ice incidents

Although he has repeatedly denied that he has a gambling problem, he admitted in 2003 that he settled debts totaling US$950,000 with two internet gambling sites between 1998 and 2002. The first of these incidents centered on Belize-based website CaribSports and its owner, William Caesar, to which Jágr owed US$500,000. Sports Illustrated reported that Jágr agreed to make monthly payments to Caesar to settle the debt, and Caesar leaked the story to the press when Jágr stopped making payments.[12] In 2003, the Internal Revenue Service filed a US$3.27 million lien against him for unpaid taxes for the 2001 tax year. Only a few months before, Jágr had settled a US$350,000 claim for taxes dating to 1999.[12] In the summer of 2006, Jágr sued his former accountant over a tax form that was supposed to have been filed in 2003, claiming that the form would have saved him $6 million had it been filed in a timely fashion.[13]

Personal life

Jágr resides in the Czech Republic during the off-season. His father, also named Jaromír Jágr, owns a chain of hotels and serves as president of HC Kladno.[14]

Jágr wears the number 68, which he has worn through his entire career, in honor of the Prague Spring rebellion that occurred in Czechoslovakia in 1968, also the year in which his grandfather died while in prison.

Jágr has been a long time supporter of the liberal conservative Civic Democratic Party, stating in 2004 that he "had always" voted for the party. In previous election he has appeared at the party's billboards and was among its generous sponsors.[15]

On May 26, 2010, he announced he was backing the Civic Democrats and its leader Petr Nečas. At the press conference he said: "I realise that there will be elections in two to three days. I would like their outcome to be good."[16]

He also urged the party not to forget about sport when distributing money. "We all know what would happen if the young did not practice any sport. If children practice some sport, they do not have time for other things such as alcohol."[16]
