The NHL legend Jaromir Jagr is raising money for Ukrainian refugees who have been displaced from their homes following Russia’s invasion, calling on fans to help support "those who need it the most." 

Jagr announced on Facebook last week that Kladno's final regular-season game against Sparta was moved to the O2 Arena in Prague – a stadium that seats approximately 18,000 fans – with the hopes of raising money for Ukrainian refugees that have fled to the Czech Republic.

"We would dedicate the proceeds from the entrance fee to Ukrainian families. I would like to make this happen in the O2 arena, because it is a popular and modern arena, where a large number of people can come to help," he wrote in the post on Thursday. "I would like your opinion if you would come to the match and help us in this way those who need it the most at this time."

Kladno, a Czech Extraliga team that Jagr owns and plays for, has played this season’s home games at the Rocknet Arena in Chomutov as their stadium undergoes renovations, according to NHL.com. Rocknet Arena has a capacity of around 5,200.
