Gene J. Puskar, Associated Press Jordan Staal, the son of hockey legend Jaromir Jágr, is reportedly nearing the end of his pro hockey career after playing in 38 seasons. Jaromir Jágr, now 54, is still active and is the second all-time leading scorer in NHL history. He is considering retiring after 38 seasons, as he is less than two weeks away from his 38th birthday.
Jágr feels a responsibility to his team and his father, who owned the team before passing away in 2022. Jágr's achievements include two Stanley Cups, an Olympic gold and bronze medal, and numerous awards for being the NHL's MVP and most outstanding player. He is still playing despite being asked to retire, as he feels he is still needed by his team.
