'I believe I still have it in me.' Jaromir Jagr's Hall of Fame career will continue for at least one more season, the 49-year-old said.

The 33rd professional season of Jaromir Jagr's Hall of Fame career came to an end on Thursday, but the 49-year-old says he has no plans to retire yet."I believe I still have it in me," Jagr said in an."It is all just about working hard and putting more effort. I have to practice harder and avoid gaining weight. You know, I was used to scoring a goal when I wanted to score one. I have been working hard since I was very young to be able to do it.

While those numbers are impressive for a 49-year-old, Jagr said he expects more from himself and that part of the reason he's still playing is due to business commitments with Kladno. "I expect much more from myself and I don't have it," he added."But I am aware that when I leave, many partners will leave the team too. That's why I have no choice."

Kind of weird quotes...essentially saying he has to keep playing otherwise sponsors will pull out and since he's the owner of the team he needs to keep the money coming in
