Future hockey hall of famer Jaromír Jágr will announce on October 5 which
hockey team he will play with this season, according to reports citing KHL
insider Aivis Kalnins, who in turn referred to the player’s agent.
Jágr, 45, has not received offers for a one-year-contract in the National
Hockey League despite having a productive season last year. Earlier this
week, Jágr said he would not agree to a team try-out in the NHL and that
the KHL was also a possibility.
In mid-August, the forward said he had considered a return to the Czech
Republic, where he would play for Kladno, a hockey club he owns. Playing in
the Czech Republic would give him freedom to cancel his contract should an
NHL offer come through or would allow him to play in the upcoming Winter
Olympics in Pyeongchang.
