– I choose Jagr. When he came into the league, what an impact he had on the Penguins and what a world-class level he maintained for so long – and he certainly continues to play a bit now and then in the Czech league. An incredible physique: size, skill – he gave it all, absolutely, NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said during the North American Players Media Tour in September when asked who was his all-time favorite player from the Czech Republic.
During his career, Jagr picked up numerous personal awards. He won the Art Ross Trophy five times, the Ted Lindsay Award three times, the Hart Trophy once, and the Bill Masterton Trophy once. He has also made ten All-Star games.
The Pittsburgh Penguins will raise Jagr’s jersey on February 18 in connection with the game against the Los Angeles Kings.
