Jaromir Jagr is a living legend and at the age of 48, he's still somehow playing professional hockey.

Jagr is playing in the Czech Republic and had 29 points for Kladno in the 2019/20 season. At this point, it's fair to ask when Jagr's Hall of Fame career will come to a close and the icon recently commented on how long he plans on playing for.

"I can't say how much longer I want to play. Hockey is getting harder and harder for me. I think I lost a bit of a drive when I wanted to prove that I can keep improving. That motivation is waning, although this season is definitely not the last in my career. I was supposed to play this year (open air match), but it was postponed. So I can't finish now. I promised to start in that match. "

It's good to know this season is not the last of Jagr's storied career. He deserves a better send off than what this year has been. Plus, we'd love to see him play in that outdoor game.
