JAROMIR JAGR COMMITS TO BEING HOCKEY AMBASSADOR FOR 2022 GAMES

While NHL participation in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics has yet to be
determined, one of its biggest stars of all-time has committed to be the face of
ice hockey at that event: Jaromir Jagr.

The 46-year-old legend, who is second to Wayne Gretzky in NHL career points
(1,921), has signed on as the official hockey ambassador for the 2022 Games. The
announcement was made after a meeting between Czech Republic President Miloš
Zeman and Sun Chunlan, vice-premier of the Chinese State Council, earlier this
week.

"Jaromir Jagr will be the face of the Winter Olympics in Beijing in 2022, and
will help in the preparation and development of Chinese hockey," said a
statement released after the meeting.

Jagr has participated in five Winter Olympics and helped the Czechs win gold 20
years ago in Nagano, the first Olympics to feature NHL players. The NHL forbade
its players from participating in the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea after
negotiations with the IOC and IIHF didn't produce a more favorable deal for the
league's owners, who have soured on the notion of shutting down their regular
season for Olympic participation.

According to Inside The Games, Jagr's deal with China comes one year after a
Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Czech Ice Hockey Association
and China, aiming to increase participation in youth hockey programs and create
buzz for the hockey tournament in the Czech Republic.

The move is another high-profile partnership for China when it comes to hockey.
Recently, Gretzky was named as global ambassador for Beijing's Kunlun Red Star
hockey program.

Jagr's partnership isn't likely to quiet speculation that the legendary right
wing could end up playing in China. His last NHL game was on Dec. 31, 2017, with
the Calgary Flames. He returned to Kladno in the Czech league, a team he owns,
only to have his season undercut by injuries. He's been practicing with that
team and working back into shape. Whether that could eventually mean a return to
the KHL has been speculated -- there was interest from the Kunlun Red Star of
the KHL back in 2017 about signing Jagr.

There's certainly money to be had there: Huawei, a Chinese manufacturer of
smartphones, has made Jagr the centerpiece of their marketing campaign for the
past three years.
