NHL Legend Jaromir Jagr reveals how much longer he wants to play.

It's honestly insane to watch a 44 year old Jaromir Jagr play night in and night out against much younger opposition and not only compete, but excel in his role as a member of the Florida Panthers.

Obviously at his advanced age many have openly wondered how long the talented veteran can keep it up, and Jagr addressed that very question this week and he gave an answer that is likely to surprise a great many fans. According to Jagr he wants to play until he's 60 years old, and if he can still go at that age he might re-evaluate when he gets there and play even longer.

"It may be after that, but I don’t know,” Jagr said as per Sportsnet. “I’m not sure yet.”

After all this time in hockey, Jagr says he's still nto satisfied, and he believes he can continue to push himself to reach even bigger success.

“First of all, I’m never happy because I’m trying to reach my top potential,” said Jagr. “I’m always chasing my maximum, so that’s why I’m never going to be happy because it’s impossible to reach it. It’s very high.”

How much higher he can go at 44 remains to be seen, Jagr has already had a very solid season with 23 goals and 54 points over 67 games with the Pajnthers this season.
