First you move into a tie on the all-time goals scored list with an NHL Hall of Famer, then you get the giant statue made of marzipan.

Or something like that.

New Jersey Devils forward and ageless wonder Jaromir Jagr did indeed tie Mike Gartner on the all-time goals scored list with 708, and he’s also had his likeness re-created in statue form with all the honey and almond meal you could ever wish for.

Tereza Novotná on Twitter: “In Tabor, Czech Rep., there is a statue of Jaromir Jagr made of marzipan #Legend @NHLDevils http://t.co/B7FTH9XsK7”

This tribute to the 42-year old winger was constructed in Tabor, Czech Republic.

Now let’s see if this sweet replica can last 1,489 games in the NHL.
