Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on September 17, 1936)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Dan Kelly! The man whose voice made ice hockey sound like poetry and whose play-by-play painted vivid portraits of legends skating fiercely toward glory. If Stanley Cups could talk, they'd surely ask you to narrate their stories once again.

From your thrilling calls during 16 unforgettable Stanley Cup Finals between 1969 and 1988, every goal resonated louder—and every moment became timeless because of you. Today's broadcasters would do well mastering your unmatched talent for turning rink-side action into high drama. Cheers, Dan—hope your day is filled with joy brighter than a playoff hat trick!
