Jaromír Jágr's Hockey Hall of Fame Induction Delayed After Helping His Team Play Game

NHL legend Jaromír Jágr pushed back his timeline for induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame due to making his return to professional hockey on Sunday.

According to Sam Carchidi of Philly Hockey Now, the 50-year-old Jágr played for the Kladno Knights, which is the Czech Extraliga team he owns.

Illnesses left Kladno short on players, so rather than asking for the game to be postponed and potentially risking punishment from the league, Jágr decided to play in a pro hockey game for the first time since April.

Jágr seemingly didn't miss a beat, as he recorded two assists, although Kladno fell to HC Bílí Tygu0159i Liberec by a 7-3 score.
