The legendary Czech forward Jaromir Jagr who has moved home to represent ''Kladno'' a team that he co-owns has a concussion.

On February 17th Jagr's team met on the ice against ''AZ Havirov'', unfortunately for Jaromir, his game ended sooner than it should have.

He was crushed into the boards, head first by Marek Sykora, and could leave the ice only with the help of teams medical staff. Even though a stretcher was brought out to get him off the ice, he was able to get up, and then he was taken to the hospital.





Jagr was evaluated and it turned out that he got a concussion in the incident. There is no timetable for when he could return to game action but it's certainly putting a shadow over his career and raises a question - Should he retire or is he retiring?

Jagr began this season with the Calgary Flames, playing 22 games, scoring a goal and recording six assists. Jagr has battled through quite a few injuries this season already.
