Jaromir Jagr personal. Jaromir Jagr - about career, age and life philosophy. A return to the NHL is possible

Personal life of Jaromir Jagr, outstanding hockey player, legend Czech hockey, who managed to play in many clubs, has not yet been arranged, despite the fact that the girls do not ignore this handsome handsome man. He is probably more interested in his career and love of hockey, or maybe he simply has not yet met a girl who could make him happy.

True, for six years Jagr had a romantic relationship with the Ukrainian model Inna Pugaikova, and things were even heading towards a wedding, but his marriage was not publicly announced anywhere. Later it became known that the forty-two-year-old hockey player never ended his bachelor life - he and Inna decided to separate peacefully and go their separate ways.

Jaromir Jagr had a lot of girls in his personal life; he always liked to spend time in their company. For several years he dated Czech TV star Nicole Lenertova, although this relationship did not last long - after a month and a half, such a loud quarrel occurred between them that after breaking up they did not even want to hear about each other.

Then Jagr met “Miss Slovakia-99” Andrea Veresova, whom he met during tennis tournament in Bratislava. Soon after they met, they began to live together in Pittsburgh. Their romance promised to develop into a wedding, but Jagr heard rumors that his beloved was having an affair behind his back with his boss - the owner of an overseas hockey team"Rangers". Jaromir treated these conversations as just another duck thrown in order to break his fighting spirit, but after these events the romance with Veresova came to naught.

Despite his advanced age for athletes, Jagr still shows excellent results in hockey matches, and on March 1 of this year, he scored the 700th goal of his career, and became the seventh player in the world who managed to achieve this figure. Hockey entered Jaromir Jagr's personal life very early - at the age of four he first picked up a stick, and spent his first season in 1988, when he turned sixteen, and immediately showed excellent results for his age. On hockey rink he looks like a real hero, and his blows are extremely powerful, but during the game Jaromir Jagr always behaves like a real gentleman.

His awards include two Stanley Cups, Olympic gold, and two sets of World Championship gold medals. Thus, the whole life of our today's hero turned into a long series of victories. Jaromir Jagr has always been the best on the hockey rink, and therefore it is especially interesting to talk about his life and fate.

Early years, childhood and family of Jaromir Jagr, beginning of his career

My sports career our today's hero started right here - in hockey school the same name of the Czech club HC Kladno. In this context, it is worth noting that already in early age a powerful young guy with an excellent wrist shot stood out among his peers. He was one of the best on the hockey rink, and therefore was always considered one of the rising stars of the Kladno school.

As a result, the player spent his first season in the Czech Extraliga at the age of sixteen. Despite such a young age, the talented young hockey player always seemed like a real hero on the hockey rink, and therefore always appeared exclusively in the striking units. The trust of the coaches, as well as the warm support of family and friends, allowed Jaromir Jagr to show very good results already in his debut season.

In 39 games of the regular season, our today's hero scored eight goals and scored another ten assist points. This indicator allowed the hockey player to rise to the first line of attack as early as the next season, and also establish himself as the main hope of the entire club.

It is very interesting that, despite his “ramming” power, Jaromir Jagr was at all times a real gentleman on the ice. Consider the fact that during the entire 1989/1990 season, the talented striker did not earn a single (!) penalty minute.

Two successful seasons at the Czech Extraliga club allowed Jaromir Jagr to seriously make a name for himself, and therefore the bright young forward subsequently became a tasty morsel for everyone best clubs NHL. Overseas scouts often appeared at many of HC Kladno's games, and therefore at a certain point it became clearly clear that the club, which lacked stars from the sky, would not be able to retain the talented student for long.

Jagr's first goal

In the end, this is what happened. In 1990, Jaromir Jagr was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins NHL team fifth overall (!). Such a high draft number indicated that the Penguins were seriously counting on the Czech player. And Jaromir ultimately fully justified the trust placed in him.

In addition, during his performances in the NHL, our today’s hero was included in the symbolic team ten times for the All-Star match of the championship.

The talented striker also played many outstanding matches as part of the Czech Republic (and Czechoslovakia) national team. His awards include gold at the Nagano Olympics, as well as two sets of gold medals won at the Austrian and German World Championships. For most of his career, Jaromir Jagr was captain and also one of the most exciting players in his national team.

A lot of goals scored, as well as the highest level of professionalism, made the hockey player a national hero of his country. At the 2010 Winter Olympics, the player was given the high honor of carrying the Czech national flag at the opening ceremony of the competition. In addition, in the fall of the same year, the talented athlete was awarded one of the most honorable state orders of this country - the Order of Merit. The President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, personally decided to present the award to the hockey player, who has become a model of behavior on the hockey rink for many years.

It is quite remarkable that throughout his career, our today’s hero wore a game jersey with the number “68” as a sign of solidarity with the victims of the Prague Spring. Because of this, the player was often wrongly accused of hating Russians. However, in one of his interviews, the hockey player dispelled these myths, saying that he does not hate Russians, but communists.

Jaromir Jagr: highlights

Here is a selection of the most important points in Jaromir Jagr's NHL career from 1990 to 2006.

On December 19 of this year, hockey player Jaromir Jagr became the eighth sniper in the history of the National Hockey League (NHL). The event occurred during the game with Ottawa, when the right winger"New Jersey" abandoned its 693rd puck in the quarry. And just recently he celebrated 690th puck - that's exactly how many goals the legendary Mario Lemieux scored.

Jaromir Jagr was born in 1972 in the city of Kladno (Czech Republic). There were two winter stadiums and the local team Poldi (SONP), which more than once became the leader of the Czech hockey championship.

Jaromir picked up a stick when he was 4 years old. The hockey player spent his first season for the local club Kladno in 1988 at the age of 17. Then he scored his first 8 goals.

Already in 1990, Jagr moved to the NHL. His first club is the Pittsburgh Penguins. At the same time, from time to time Jaromir returned to the Czech Republic to play for Kladno. For the first season in national league the hockey player scored 27 goals and made 30 assists. The second season was no less successful.

After 11 years, Jagr ends up in "". He is exchanged for three players at once. The press joked that the hockey player was exchanged for three bags of pucks. Jagr played for the capital's club for three years, and in 2004 he joined the New York Rangers.

In 2004, a lockout began in the NHL and the Czech hockey player moved to Russia, where he played for Avangard (Omsk). By the way, it was in Omsk that Jagr converted to Orthodoxy. His contract with the Omsk team will last until 2011. In Russia, Jaromir Jagr was remembered not only for his acting, but also for his participation in the filming of the film “Brother-2” with Sergei Bodrov.

In the Russian Super League and the Kontinental Hockey League, Jaromir Jagr will win the Cup European champions, will become the club's best sniper and scorer and take 5th place in the list of "Best Avangard snipers in the top division." Behind Russian club The Czech scored 93 goals.

When the contract with Avangard ended, Yar thought for a long time about where to continue his career. There was an opportunity to stay in Russia, former colleagues from the Pittsburgh Penguins called, but in the end, extremely unexpectedly for everyone, Jaromir became a player for the Philadelphia Flyers (Philadelphia Flyers). Moreover, in all five seasons at this club, Jagr played as a defender, and not as a striker as usual.

The number 68 on the hockey player’s uniform is a tribute to his grandfather and a symbol of hatred of communism. Jagr has said more than once that he does not dislike the Russian people, but only the communists who suppressed the uprising in the Czech Republic in 1968. Jaromir’s dislike for the Soviet regime manifested itself as a child: on the walls of his room there were posters of tennis player Martina Navratilova, who fled to the United States, and Ronald Reigen, the US President, known for his toughness towards the USSR.

Playing for the Czech national team brought Jaromir no less than success in clubs. Many are sure that 30 years of Czech hockey owe everything to one guy from Kladno. Golden medal at the Nogano Olympics, two golds at the 2005 and 2010 world championships, plus 4 bronze medals at the same world championships - the Czech team would hardly have received all this without Jaromir.

So, now Jaromir Jagr ranks 8th among best snipers NHL. Just one puck separates the Czech hockey player from Mark Messier, so it is likely that Jagr will soon rise to another level.

Along with 25 of the greatest hockey players, Jagr was included in the Triple Gold Club of Hockey Players for winning the , Olympic Games and world championships.

Don't even ask us such questions! Jaromir Jagr is one of the greatest hockey players in history. The second scorer in the entire annals of the NHL, the hero of Russia: he played for four seasons in the Omsk Avangard and was loved by our fans. Anti-hero of Russia, because the Czech team with Jagr took away the gold of the 1998 Olympics in Nagano and the gold of the 2010 World Championship in Cologne. Oh, how it was a shame!

And Jagr is a very original person. He never drinks alcohol and drinks milk at team parties. He can take the keys to the skating rink to train there after midnight (“When no one is around and no one is bothering you”). And the main joke is that Jaromir plays professional hockey at 45 years old. He plays in the best league in the world, the NHL, although they usually end their careers at 35-36 years old. Jagr is the main long-liver of world hockey, and not everyone immediately understands the secret of his eternal youth.

WHAT IS HIS SECRET?

And here it is: girls. Once, the famous defender Darius Kasparaitis, who was interviewed in MAXIM, said: “Listen, I have five children, I spin like a squirrel in a wheel. But Jagr has no family, no children, he dates young girls. Of course he has a lot of time for hockey!”

Jaromir changes girls like gloves, and everything follows the same pattern. Several years of relationship - and they break up. In some ways, Jagr resembles Count Dracula, although he does not drink blood from anyone.

And once there was this story: 43-year-old Jaromir slept in bed with an 18-year-old model, the girl took a picture of them together and began to blackmail the great hockey player.

WHO IS HE WITH NOW?

But now it seems Jaromir has calmed down. It seems he has met the girl of his dreams. Her name is Veronika Koprzivova. With his arm around her waist, Jagr made a statement:

“I will play hockey until I’m 55! I feel great. I'm enjoying the game more than ever. I used to feel the pressure that I had to be best hockey player peace. And now I just want to extend my career to the maximum.”
