Jaromir Jagr Has Officially Broken the Craziest Record in Hockey
Jaromir Jagr is truly a freak of nature. How any man over the age of 50 can go out and play dozens of hockey games with no sign of slowing down is truly a mystery.
He's been playing professional hockey for an incredible 36 years, and it finally paid off yesterday.
With his 1099th professional goal, he broke Wayne Gretzky's seemingly unbeatable record. This can only be accomplished by a man with such an incredible commitment to the sport, which Jagr has.
He may finally be close to retirement, but it's safe to say he'll hold this record for a very long time.
Beating Gretzky's records is already crazy. Doing it at nearly 51 years old is down right insane.
