Someone stole all the Jaromir Jagr bobbleheads the Pittsburgh Penguins planned to give away
View Date:2024-12-23 16:18:28
The Pittsburgh Penguins announced Thursday morning they are postponing their Jaromír Jágr bobblehead giveaway after the shipment carrying the bobbleheads was stolen.
Pittsburgh, who retired Jágr's jersey number 68 in February, planned to give out bobbleheads featuring the Penguins icon's likeness at Thursday night's game against the San José Sharks. When the shipment of bobbleheads did not arrive when scheduled, the team concluded they had been stolen.
“We were shocked to be a victim of cargo theft, and we are working closely with local and federal authorities on the investigation” Penguins President of Business Operations Kevin Acklin said in a statement.
After the discovery of the theft, Pittsburgh announced a contingency plan Thursday morning. Fans attending the game will instead receive a voucher to pick up a bobblehead once the items are recovered or new ones are made.
Jágr, who was a planned guest for Thursday's game, will still be in attendance at PPG Paints Arena.
