Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on February 18, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Alexander Mogilny! The man who skated faster than most of us can think and scored goals smoother than ice cream on a hot day. Your legendary 76-goal season with the Buffalo Sabres still leaves goalies waking up in cold sweats—wondering how you made it look so easy.

From your groundbreaking defection to becoming the first Russian NHL captain, you've always been ahead of the game. Even retirement couldn't slow down your legacy; fans still replay your highlights, marveling at that effortless glide and pinpoint accuracy. Here's hoping this birthday is as timelessly awesome as your career!
