Tragedy strikes the Jagr household as they mourn the death of Jaromir Jagr Sr.
We already know that long-time NHL Icon and surefire first-ballot Hall of Famer Jaromir Jagr is contemplating hanging up the skates for good at the age of 50, but amid arguably the most difficult decision of his life, he is also now grieving the loss of his father, Jaromir Jagr Sr.
Jagr took to social media on Wednesday to confirm the news and deliver a message of mourning for his father, which was heartbreaking and heartwarming all at once. Some beautiful words here from Jagr.
"If it's true that children choose their parents before birth, then my first decision was the best I've ever made. Thank you for everything, dad"

Jagr has not played in the NHL since the 2017-18 season, but is still the NHL's 2nd all-time scoring leader, with 1,921 career points, placing him behind only "The Great One", Wayne Gretzky. Jagr's 766 goals are the 4th highest in NHL history and his 1,155 assists are 5th-most in NHL history. He also sits in the top-4 all-time for games played.
Our most sincere condolences to Jagr and his family during this difficult time.
