Let's make this birthday one to remember.

64 years old (Born on March 15, 1961)

Happy Birthday, Craig Ludwig! From hoisting Stanley Cups with the Montreal Canadiens and Dallas Stars to earning your rightful spot in the Wisconsin Hockey Hall of Fame, you've always been a champion on ice. Your legendary defensive skills—and those famously oversized shin pads—still inspire hockey fans everywhere.

Even though you're retired from blocking shots, we hope today you won't block any cake or celebrations coming your way! May this birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and fewer bruises than your NHL days. Cheers to another year of greatness off the ice—you've certainly earned it. Happy Birthday!
