Jaromir Jagr signs contract with his Czech hometown club
PRAGUE, Czech Republic — NHL great Jaromir Jagr signed a deal Wednesday with a team he owns in the Czech Republic.
The move comes a couple days after the Calgary Flames placed the forward on unconditional waivers to terminate his contract.
The club confirmed the contract between Jagr and the Kladno Knights in the second-tier Czech league has been signed but no details have been immediately available. Jagr planned a news conference in Kladno for Thursday.
Kladno, just west of the capital Prague, is Jagr’s hometown.
