Former Teammate Reveals Jaromir Jagr's Shocking Behavior In Pittsburgh
Jagr's Former Teammate Reveals the Star's Shocking Behavior.
Jaromir Jagr earned his place among the NHL's legends with 1921 points during his 1733 career games.
Unfortunately, a recent development casts a shadow on his illustrious career.
Tuomas Gronman, who played 22 games with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1997-98, is now a sports psychologist. In a recent statement, he revealed that Jagr's behavior towards former coach Kevin Constantine in Pittsburgh was nothing short of childish.
Gronman provided many examples to substantiate his claim.
Jagr's Childish Behavior
Gronman mentioned that Constantine, who was in his early 40s at the time, would ask Jagr to wear a helmet for games. As the NHL was transitioning to mandatory helmets, Jagr began wearing one. But he also took to wearing it to team meetings.
Jagr's former teammate recounted another incident. When the star was instructed to be punctual for team meetings, Jagr would linger in his car to ensure he was tardy. Gronman believes he got away with it due to his status on the team and because Constantine was a relatively new coach.
Regrettably, no one is without flaws. Jagr's reputation as an exceptional player remains intact, but these revelations about his off-ice antics, even if considered minor, might tarnish his image.
