Though his hockey career is not yet over after more than 30 years of action, Jaromir Jagr will be honoured in a fantastic way in 2024.

Jaromir Jagr heading to the Hall of Fame



After a fantastic run for the Czech Republic that started over 30 years ago, Jaromir Jagr will now officially be inducted into the IIHF Hockey Hall of Fame in their Class of 2024.

"Jaromir Jagr is a legend, plain and simple, and even at age 51 he still plays some games for his club team, Kladno. His last appearance with the national team was eight years ago, in Prague, where he was named tournament MVP at the Men's World Championship, the culmination of a career that started in 1990 when he helped Czechoslovakia win a bronze medal at the World Junior Championship." The IIHF said.




His career on the international stage began with an 18 point World Juniors run back in 1989-90, leading his country to a bronze medal, and it's continued on throughout his illustrious career.

There's bound to be many more honours when his run is officially done, but for now, congratulations are in order for one of the best to ever lace a pair of skates.
