Jaromír Jágr (pronounced (help·info), born February 15, 1972, in Kladno, Central Bohemia, Czechoslovakia, now the Czech Republic) is a professional ice hockey right winger, who plays for Avangard Omsk in the Kontinental Hockey League. Jágr formerly played in the National Hockey League with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Washington Capitals, and most recently the New York Rangers. Jágr is currently in the top ten among players in NHL career goals, assists and points, and is regarded as one of the game's all-time great players.

Jágr began skating at the age of three. At the age of 16, he was playing at the highest level of competition in Czechoslovakia for HC Kladno.

Jágr was the first Czechoslovak player to be drafted by the NHL without first having to defect to the West. He was taken by the Pittsburgh Penguins with the fifth overall pick in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft. He was a supporting player with the powerhouse Penguins that won back-to-back Stanley Cups in 1991 and 1992. He was the youngest player in NHL history, at 19 years of age, to score a goal in the Stanley Cup finals. While in the locker room, celebrating the Penguins first of two straight Stanley Cups, Jágr was cited for underage drinking.
