Jaromir Jagr

Jaromir Jagr was born on February 15, 1972 in Kladno, Czech Republic. He played junior hockey in his hometown and won bronze medals in the 1990 World Juniors and the World Championship. Jagr was drafted in 1990 by the Pittsburgh Penguins as their 1st choice, 5th overall. He scored 57 points in his first season with the Penguins and was named to the NHL All-Rookie Team. Jagr would get an early taste of success as the Lemieux led powerhouse Penguins won back to back Stanley Cup Championships in his first two seasons. Jagr's offensive numbers continued to improve year over year, and in 1995 he became the first European player to win the Art Ross trophy with 149 points in the regular season. He would go on to repeat that feat four more times.

Teamed up with Mario Lemieux, Jagr contined to tear up the NHL throughout the 1990s. He broke Mike Bossy's record for most goals by a right-winger in his most productive season. The 1995-96 season also saw Jagr put up career highs in goals, assists and points as he notched 149 points. As the Penguins continued to face financial troubles and after a decade in Pittsburgh, Jagr was dealt to the Washington Capitals in the summer of 2001. The trade saw the Pens receive Kris Beech, Michal Sivek, Ross Lupaschuk and future considerations for Jaromir Jagr and defenseman Frantisek Kucera. Though the move to Washington hasn't yielded the predicted fireworks, Jagr continues to be a threat everytime he steps on the ice. With the Capitals off to a slow start in 2003, Jaromir was traded to the New York Rangers in January 2004 for Anson Carter. The 2005-06 saw a resurgent Jagr make his mark on the game, scoring 123 points for the Rangers.
