Jaromir Jagr hasn’t played in the National Hockey League since 2017, but the 50-year-old remains undefeated against father time.

The soon-to-be 51-year-old, owner of the Kladno Knights in the Czech Extraliga, had to fill in due to a widespread illness decimating the roster, making his 2022-23 season debut on Sunday. And he looked pretty good, especially for a player of his age.

Jagr suited up in the Knights’ contest against HC Bílí Tygu0159i Liberec, tallying a pair of assists in over 15 minutes of ice time. His points came in a losing effort, as Kladno fell 7-3.
