The Pittsburgh Penguins retired Jaromir Jagr's number 68 on Sunday before their game against the Los Angeles Kings.
He is the third player from the organization to receive this honor, following Mario Lemieux's number 66 and Michel Brière's number 21.
Jagr gave an acceptance speech that was both funny and touching. He allowed himself a few jokes about former teammates and his partner's age and was emotional at times, especially when talking about his father, who died last year. Watch the whole thing in the video above.
The Czech was drafted fifth overall in 1990 and won the Stanley Cup twice with the Penguins, in 1991 and 1992.
In 806 games in Pittsburgh from 1990 to 2001, Jagr scored 1,079 points, ranking 4th in team history. He also used his time with the Penguins to win the Hart, Art Ross and Ted Lindsay Trophies.
A true force of nature, at age 52, Jagr still plays hockey in the Czech Republic with the Kladno Knights.
