This week, the 52-year-old Jágr, who plays for Kladno of the Czech Republic, was back in Pittsburgh partaking in Lemieux's yearly dream camp.

The Penguins resigned Jágr's No. 68 during a pregame function in February. It was an honor for quite a while really taking shape, taking into account the crude inclinations toward him by the fan base following his takeoff in 2001. Yet, walls were repaired and previous larger part proprietor and individual establishment legend Mario Lemieux said in 2017 that he imagined the day when Jágr's number hung adjacent to his No. 66 in the PPG Paints Field rafters.
