Why a group of Canadian doctors says workplace sick notes need to go
Canadian doctors are calling for employers and schools not to require sick notes when it comes to short-term minor illnesses.
Jaromir Jagr has made his ice hockey season debut at age 51 for his hometown Kladno Knights in the Czech league.
Jagr began his 36th professional season with an assist to help Kladno come back from 3-0 down at league leader Pardubice. Kladno eventually tied the score but conceded a short-handed goal to lose 4-3.
He skated for 13 minutes, 44 seconds. He didn't talk to reporters after the game but coach Otakar Vejvoda called Jagr's contribution "excellent."
His return is expected to be a boost for Kladno, which is second to last on the table.
He has started the season in Kladno's 26th game, but late starts are not uncommon for Jagr, who entered last season in game No. 27.
Jagr made his debut for Kladno as a teenager and returned to the club -- which he now owns -- in 2018 after the Calgary Flames released the NHL's second all-time leading point-scorer.
