Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on April 17, 1951)

Happy Birthday, Borje Salming! You've always skated circles around age faster than you did NHL forwards. From leaving Sweden to become Toronto’s iconic blue-line legend in 1973, your fearless style and unmatched grit gave Canadian hockey fans a newfound appreciation for European toughness (and amazing hair).

Whether it was dominating the Leafs’ defense or earning that historic Hall-of-Fame nod as one of Europe's trailblazers, you've proven there's nothing cooler—on ice or off—than being ahead of your time. Enjoy another birthday knowing you'll forever remain timeless—even if opposing forwards still cringe at just hearing your name! Cheers!
