Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on April 14, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Charles Hamelin! You're so fast on ice that candles barely have a chance. It seems you're always skating to victory, proving age is just another lap you've dominated effortlessly—like your spectacular gold medal moment with Team Canada at the unforgettable 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.

From relay heroics and world championships to inspiring Canadians coast-to-coast, you continue skating circles around mere mortals year after year. On your birthday today, may you glide through cake slices faster than those memorable turns of yours—or perhaps slow down enough to actually savor them! Here's wishing you continued happiness and speed ahead!
