Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on September 04, 1971)

Happy Birthday to the one and only Craig Conroy, hockey’s favorite defensive dynamo! You're proof that age is just a number—and not nearly as impressive as your countless face-off wins or gritty ability to silence opponents. Your time captaining those fiery Calgary Flames remains legendary; fans still recall fondly how you'd lock down forwards with more authority than local traffic enforcement.

Here's wishing you another year of laughs tougher than playoff overtime and celebrations rowdier than a packed Saddledome on Saturday night. May this birthday be stacked full of good times—just like all your best shifts!
