In 1968, a man died in prison in Czechoslovakia. He was in prison because he dared to oppose the communist seizure of his property.
Before he was sent to prison, he had a son who would become a prosperous businessman. The son would own hotels and become well known in the Czech hockey community, rising to the team president’s role for HC Kladno. The son had his own son, and he gave him his own name.
And it was through that lineage that Jaromir Jagr became the second Jaromir Jagr, though he’ll never be anyone’s second Jaromir Jagr again.
