CORAL SPRINGS (CBSMiaim/AP) — Age is only a number, especially when it comes to living in South Florida.
Guy Lafleur turned 65 this week, which is notable in the sense that the Hockey Hall of Famer was still playing in the NHL during Jaromir Jagr’s rookie season.
That was 26 years ago.
Another year goes by, another training camp arrives for Jagr, the 44-year-old who led the Florida Panthers in scoring and helped key their run to an Atlantic Division title last season. He’s not easing into the season either — his after-practice workout regimen Friday lasted nearly as long as his time on the ice.
