Jaromir Jagr suffers potential career-ending injury
Reports confirmed today that former NHLer and hall-of-famer Jaromir Jagr has suffered a significant injury that could threaten his professional hockey career.
Jaromir Jagr has been playing professional hockey for nearly 4 decades and seems to be the only player that age doesn't affect him. But it was announced today that he suffered a torn hamstring that will keep him out of play for a good amount of time.
The injury was suffered during training and team doctors have advised him to take time off.
Of course, I didn't listen to him... I went for a run. Not the sprints I used to do uphill, but normally straight. But I put weights on my ankles and tore my hamstring.
That was about five days ago. Pavel said it would be three to six weeks. We'll see how it heals.
Against the order of doctors, Jagr has still been training and he evaluates his own injury to take upwards to 6 weeks to heal. At the age of 52, he has to be careful with his body and if he pushes it too much it could end his career for good.
But I'm not one to screw it up when I've put so much into it. The very next day I went to do things that didn't hurt. However, skating is very important and I won't be on the ice for three to six weeks. Maybe it won't be that long, we'll see. When I walk, it doesn't hurt.
Jagr is a main draw to the Czech Extraliga as he owns and plays for the Kaldno Knights. Hopefully Jagr can make a full recovery, and we wish him all the best!
