Rangers forward Jagr named Czech Republic's hockey player of the season
PRAGUE (AP) - New York Rangers forward Jaromir Jagr was voted the Czech Republic's player of the year for the sixth time.
The 33-year-old veteran won the vote by a panel of sports journalists and hockey coaches Saturday. Tomas Kaberle and goalie Tomas Vokoun were runners-up for the 2004-05 season award.
After the NHL lockout wiped out the entire 2004-05 NHL season, Jagr first played for hometown club Kladno in the Czech league. In November, he moved to Russia and helped Avangard Omsk win January's European Champions Cup.
In May, Jagr won his first world championship to become the 15th player to win Stanley Cup, Olympic and world championship titles.
