Jaromir Jagr to Host Hockey Game Benefitting Ukrainian Families Seeking Asylum

Former NHL star Jaromir Jagr and his Knights of Kladno of the Czech Extraliga are putting the needs of others above everything else.

Jagr announced Friday that the Knights of Kladno, the team he owns, will move its final regular-season home game against HC Sparta Praha to O2 Arena in Prague, with proceeds from ticket sales to benefit Ukrainian families who have fled to the Czech Republic amid Russia's invasion, according to ESPN's Greg Wyshynski.

The Knights of Kladno's home arena can only seat around 5,200 people, while O2 Arena can seat more than 18,000.
