Right wing for the Pittsburgh Penguins (1990-2001), the Washington Capitals (2001-2004), and the New York Rangers. Born February 15, 1972 in Kladno, Czechoslovakia (now in the Czech Republic).
Won the Stanley Cup with the Penguins his first two years in the league; the Penguins made the playoffs each season he played with them after missing the playoffs in the 1989-90 season, which gave them the 4th overall draft pick used to select Jagr.
Jagr first won the Art Ross Trophy as the NHL's leading scorer during the lockout-shortened 1994-95 season, tying Eric Lindros with 70 points and winning the scoring title by virtue of having scored more goals than Lindros. He went on to win 4 consecutive Art Ross Trophies from 1997-2001. He is only the 5th player in NHL history to win the trophy 5 times. From the time of Wayne Gretzky's retirement until Mario Lemieux's return, Jagr was the only active player in the NHL who had ever won the scoring title. No other player in any of the 4 major American sports had ever held that distinction beyond the first year such an award was given in their sport (although, to be fair, this had more to do with the dominance of Lemieux and Gretzky and good timing than anything.)
Jagr also won the Hart Trophy as the NHL's most valuable player in 1999 and the Lester B. Pearson award in 1999 and 2000 as the MVP as voted by the league's players.
In the 1998 Nagano Olympics, Jagr had 5 points (1G, 4A) for the gold medal winning Czech team.
Jaromir Jagr no longer has a mullet.
