Jagr back in PA


02 Jul

Jaromir Jagr is back in Pennsylvania, but not in the black and gold of the Penguins. No, instead he’s going to be wearing the orange of the Flyers. The Flyers?

Okay, so if you’re not a hockey fan, you probably don’t know or care who Jagr is. You certainly don’t care that he’s signed a one year deal with Philly. But for those of us who are fans, even if we’re not fans ofPittsburgh, there’s just something wrong here.

And I know, Gretzsky left the Oilers for the Kings and all, but this is the same state. Same state!

Professional Responsibility

I am a fan of sports, specifically, sports where there is a lot of hitting- roller derby, hockey, and football. And while I am a fan of these sports, I do have concerns about the health of the players, especially around concussions. But I am even more concerned about concussions among the youth players of these games.

That’s why, even though I am not a Penguins fan, I am thrilled with the Pittsburgh Penguins’ new program to provide baseline concussion testing for all youth hockey players in the city. We can change the culture when we start with the kids.
