Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on July 12, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Chad! From skating circles around opponents on the ice to strumming chords that melt hearts off-stage, you've truly mastered turning life's curveballs into chart-topping hits. Who knew trading hockey sticks for guitar picks would lead you from slapshots to serenades? Your album "Love Me or Leave Me" still has fans singing along louder than a playoff crowd.

Though injuries may have benched your skates early, they couldn't sideline your talent and charisma. You've scored big in country music arenas instead—proving once again you're unstoppable no matter what stage (or rink) life throws at you. Keep rocking those boots; here's wishing another year of unforgettable melodies ahead!
