Jaromir Jagr became a professional hockey player in the Czech Republic at age 15 for the Kladno Knights way back in 1987. The NHL legend suited up for the club on Thursday, marking his 36th season as a professional hockey player at the ripe age of 51. He made his NHL debut in 1990 after the Pittsburgh Penguins drafted him fifth overall earlier that year. When he made his debut, he was the youngest player in the NHL – when he played his final NHL game five years ago, he was the oldest. He holds several NHL records, including the most game-winning goals, and his 36th pro season extends that record, as well.
