Jaromir Jagr's Gambling Addiction

Jagrwatch. The whereabouts and future plans of a one Jaromir Jagr captivated the hockey world for the better part of the week. No one, not even his agent, knew exactly where the former five-time Art Ross Trophy winner was this week or where he was going. On Friday Jagr stunned everyone when he spurned the Penguins, his former team, for their cross-state rival, the Philadelphia Flyers. Pennsylvanians can still take solace that Jagr landed in the state as he will surely be a boon to the state’s new casino industry. Jagr admitted in 2003 to settling gambling debts of $950,000.
