JAGR WILL STAY IN OMSK

Czech forward Jaromir Jagr has extended his contract with HC Avangard.


Yesterday Avangard general manager Anatoliy Bardin announced extension of Jagr’s contract with the club at special press conference.

"We will unveil all details of the contract ahead of kick-off of new season", he said. "We agreed with Jagr that we would make joint announcement".

"I would say only that terms of the new contract have been reviewed to reduction side, but it’s common practice for us".

"There couldn’t be other decision, because Avangard’s loss in play-off first round was a real catastrophe for us".

Moreover Avangard will part with Canadian forward Eric Perrin, goalkeeper Evgeniy Tsaregorodtsev and forward Jakub Klepis.
