Let's make this birthday one to remember.

38 years old (Born on October 27, 1986)

Happy Birthday, Chris Butler! From your early days skating circles around opponents with the Buffalo Sabres to joining the Calgary Flames in 2011 and becoming a defensive rock—your career has been as solid as your slapshot. Fans still reminisce about those epic blocked shots and clutch plays that made goalies breathe easier.

Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer bruises than blocking pucks, more cake slices than penalty minutes, and enough laughs to rival locker room banter. Keep defending birthdays like you defended goals—with style (and maybe some ice packs). Cheers to another year of legendary moves on—and off—the ice!
