Reminds me of the "Traveling Jagrs" -- the fan club of legendary hockey player Jaromir Jagr. They add one member with a new jersey every time he plays for another team.

They travel to NHL games wearing wigs of his signature mullet from his early days in pro hockey.

When he signed with the Calgary Flames last year they held a press conference where they announced they were looking for a new member to wear a Calgary jersey. He showed up and crashed their press conference! LOL.

in shape ……. He wants to play until he’s 50.

I am a lifetime Pittsburgher and watched this kid when he was young. He's a brilliant player and a nice guy.

Great post. As a long time American expat in Ontario, I’ve really grown to appreciate hockey.

Did any player cycle through all of the original six pre-1967? Based on reading the autobiography of Gordie Howe, I’d be surprised, but my knowledge of hockey lore is still fairly limited. However, I imagine that some day one of my sons (or God willing grandsons) will aid in further remedying that defect.
