The 45-year-old Czech forward returned to his hometown team, the Kladno Knights, Saturday evening and didn't disappoint, netting three assists after receiving a hero's welcome from the capacity crowd.

Given Jagr's popularity in the Czech Republic and the anticipation surrounding his return, the game was relocated almost 70 kilometers away to accommodate a larger crowd, according to Sportsnet's Mike Johnston.

His most recent NHL stint came to an end Monday after he cleared waivers and was assigned to Kladno from the Calgary Flames.
