Jaromir Jagr was not just known for his immense commitment and dedication to the game of hockey but also for his eccentric off-field life. A heartthrob of the city of Pittsburgh, where he played most of his NHL career, Jagr threw occasional lavish celebrations.
Rick Tocchet, his teammate for three seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins, recalled one of those parties. Speaking during Jagr's Pens jersey retirement ceremony in February, the current Vancouver Canucks coach detailed a birthday party hosted by Jagr that had 900 guests, 875 of whom were women.
“We had some guys who were married, so they didn’t go to it. I was single at the time, and I went,” Tocchet said. “I remember, I think it was a sports café – there must have been 900 people at his birthday party, and I think it was 875 girls." [18:55]
