Jaromir Jagr is back on the ice yet again. On Wednesday, the former NHL star made his season debut for the Kladno Knights, the team in Czechia that he owns.

Jagr, 51, played 13:44 and logged an assist in a 4-3 loss against Czech Extraliga-leading Pardubice. The star forward helped the Knights come back from a 3-0 deficit to tie the game, but Pardubice was able to record a short-handed goal to win the game 4-3.

Jagr made his professional debut for Kladno back in 1988-89 before being selected with the No. 5 pick in the 1990 NHL Draft by the Pittsburgh Penguins. He ended up tallying 1,921 career points during his time in the NHL, which is second to Wayne Gretzky on the league's all-time points list.

The Penguins are slated to retire Jagr's No. 68 jersey in a ceremony on Feb. 18. During his time in Pittsburgh, Jagr helped the Penguins win back-to-back Stanley Cups in 1991 and 1992 while playing alongside Mario Lemieux.
