Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on March 09, 1978)

Happy Birthday, Chris Phillips! From being the first overall pick by the Ottawa Senators in 1996 to becoming one of their most reliable defenders, you've always known how to skate circles around opponents—and occasionally your teammates too. Your legendary defensive skills and clutch playoff performances have left fans cheering and forwards frustrated.

Whether it was your iconic overtime goal against New Jersey in 2003 or setting franchise records for games played, you've consistently shown that defensemen can indeed age like fine wine. Here's hoping your birthday is as smooth as your skating stride—just don't hip-check anyone at the cake table!
