Canadian Olympic swimming superstar Penny Oleksiak's ties to hockey go deeper than her brother, Jamie, who plays defense for the Dallas Stars.
Now up to almost 45,000 followers after a miraculous week in Rio, Penny took part in a Twitter Q&A with BuzzFeed Canada on Monday, and revealed that her "biggest fan" is named after an NHL legend:
First thing I have to do is pick up my biggest fan. My dog jagr 😊🐶 https://t.co/FlmdcPqo7q

More proof that everyone loves Jaromir Jagr, even 16-year-olds.
Jagr, 44, will skate in a remarkable 23rd NHL season in October with the Florida Panthers.
