In today's feel good story, Jaromir Jagr has decided to move his team's final regular season game to a larger arena in order to raise money for Ukrainian families.

Jagr and his CzechExtraliga team, Kladno, are scheduled to face HC Sparta Prague in their final game of the regular season on March 8th.

Instead of playing the game at Kladno's 5,200 seat arena, the game has been moved to Prague, and will be played at 02 Arena, which hold 18,000 spectators. The proceeds from this game will go to Ukrainian families who are seeking asylum in the Czech Republic.

"I am very happy to confirm that everything was successful even in such a short time. Now our only wish is to sell out the O2 arena. Buy a ticket and help those Ukrainian families in the Czech Republic!" Jagr said.

This is really nice gesture from Jagr, who's currently in the 34th season of his professional hockey career. The 50-year-old's Kladno club currently sit 14th in the CzechExtraliga standings and will likely have to settle for a relegation play out game. Losing that game would mean Kladno will be relegated to Czech 1. Liga.
