This Mullet Rocking Playboy Puts Us All to Shame
It’s official.
My man crush on Jaromir Jagr, that is.
At age 44, Jagr became the oldest NHL player to score 60+ points in a single season.
And after recording his 200th playoff point against the Islanders last night, it’s a safe bet I’m not the only one fascinated by this prolific hockey player who hoisted his first Cup before I knew what an offside was.
He may have stopped rocking that trademark mullet of his back years ago, but his hockey IQ, speed and level of competitiveness are still very much on par with the demands of the game in 2016.
Much has been written about how #68 still keeps breaking scoring records three decades into his illustrious career.
But his success really bears no mystery when you think about it…
Dude’s a friggin’ work horse.
Never mind that he can work on his skating, passing and shooting for hours each day outside of team practice.
He sneaks into the gym after midnight to get a lift in, when the rest of the NHL is sleeping.
His work ethic is as endless as his love of the game.
So much so that unlike most of his peers, he never got married or decided to start a family. Just so he could focus 100% on his career.
Though he has been known to enjoy the company of attractive females (like any well-off bachelor should).
Apparently scoring chicks 20 years your junior won’t hurt your chances of lighting up the red lamp in front of 20,000 people.
Which he has done 749 times since entering the league in 1990 (I’m talkin’ ‘bout putting the puck in the net; as far as I know, NHL.com doesn’t cover his stats in the female department).
The point?
Even the best of the best didn’t achieve 2 Stanley Cups, 5 Art Ross Trophies and 3 Lester B. Pearson Awards on talent alone.
So what got Jagr to the top?
And what’s keeping him there 25 years and counting?
Attitude.
Professionalism.
Burning desire to be the best.
Saying “screw you” to complacency.
And always, ALWAYS working on getting in better shape than he was yesterday.
All those happen to be qualities I love to see in the young hockey players I coach.
