Former NHL icon Jaromir Jagr will have to wait at least another three years to see his name on a Hockey Hall of Fame ballot.
Jagr officially kicked off his 38th season of professional hockey by skating for Rytíři Kladno, the Czech Extraliga team in which he owns a minority share, in a Friday game against HC Vítkovice.
Jagr, 53, recorded five goals and 16 points in 39 games last season with Kladno.
The Hall of Fame requires players to wait three years between retirement and induction, so returning for another season pushes Jagr’s candidacy back to at least 2029.
