Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on July 11, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Brett! You're still skating circles around the rest of us—even if it's just metaphorically these days. From your Olympic adventures in '94 to dominating defense at multiple World Championships ('95, '03, '04 and ’05), you've always known how to keep opponents—and age—at bay.

Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as shutting down a breakaway or scoring that clutch goal for Team USA. May your celebrations be legendary enough to rival those epic moments on ice—but please remember: helmets optional today; cake mandatory!

Cheers to another year of greatness off-ice too!
