Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on January 11, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Dave Cruikshank! From blazing around Olympic ovals to coaching NHL stars on ice technique, you've always known how to skate circles around the competition. Who knew that your speed skating skills would glide so smoothly into hockey? Clearly, you're a man who knows how to pivot—both literally and figuratively!

And let's not forget your greatest victory of all: winning the heart of gold medalist Bonnie Blair. Talk about striking Olympic gold twice! Wishing you another year filled with laughter, love, and maybe fewer bruises from demonstrating those sharp turns. Keep skating through life with style—happy birthday!
