Hockey fans love Jaromir Jagr. Jaromir Jagr loves hockey fans. We got the best reminder of this Saturday night during the Flames-Jets game when the real Jagr interrupted an interview with a group of fans dressed as the legendary mullet man, much to their delight.

Let’s be honest, this is the absolute best-case scenario if you go around wearing a Jagr outfit to NHL games, right? And look at how much fun Jagr is having:

You get a lot of things when you sign Jagr to your team: A solid winger who can help on the power play, a big name to sell jerseys, and, most importantly, a group of fans who go to your games wearing vintage jerseys and wigs. What’s not to like.
Jagr hasn’t made his debut for the Flames yet as he gets to playing condition after spending most of the summer unsigned. At least he’s already having fun in Calgary.
