Some say Jaromir Jagr has been playing for so long that the seasoned Czech winger is nearly as old as the game of hockey itself. Now of course, that is just hyperbole, but in reality he is the oldest player in the present day NHL at 45 years of age.

Sometimes we forget Jagr was a young whipper snapper in the NHL, and need a little reminder of his younger days. In fact, Jagr was the youngest player in the whole league at one point, and this prospects magazine Beckett Hockey had a picture of the young Jagr with an amazing caption to remind us of his youth.

Jagr continues to show us he is father time himself.

 

Jaromir #Jagr seriously plans to play until he's 50. 👴🏻
