Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on October 29, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Eric Staal! A man who truly has conquered hockey's holy trinity: Olympic Gold for Canada in 2010, the glorious Stanley Cup hoist with Carolina in '06 and a World Championship triumph. You've soared across ice-rinks everywhere faster than fans could chant your name—thanks for spoiling us!

But seriously Eric, at this point what else is left? Guest coaching Timbits teams perhaps or launching your own NHL mascot dance academy? Whatever comes next, one thing is clear; you're always raising the bar higher on achievements—and birthdays somehow keep falling behind you.

Cheers to another lap around life's rink—you champion legend!
