"Hi ⭐️. Another hockey season has begun. Now I read that I played for Kladno in the extra league for the first time 35 years ago. It's been a while.

How are you looking forward to hockey?" Jagr said.

Kladno, featuring not only the iconic Jaromir Jagr but also former Montreal Canadiens forward Tomas Plekanec, is set to commence their 2023-24 regular season against HC Dynamo Pardubice in what promises to be an electrifying showdown.
