Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on August 28, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Darby Hendrickson! From skating circles around opponents with the Maple Leafs and Islanders to lighting up arenas for the Avalanche, Canucks, and your hometown Minnesota Wild—you've always been a true ice legend. Your smooth moves on skates made defenders dizzy; rumor has it some are still spinning!

Now as you celebrate another year off-ice (and hopefully without penalty minutes), we hope you're enjoying life beyond slapshots and face-offs. May this birthday be filled with laughter louder than playoff crowds—and cake sweeter than any overtime victory you've ever tasted. Cheers to more memorable moments ahead—happy birthday!
