Let's make this birthday one to remember.

45 years old (Born on January 05, 1980)

Happy birthday, Garette Ratliff Henson! From your unforgettable slapshots in *The Mighty Ducks*, you taught an entire generation to believe that anything is achievable on thin ice—quite literally. You made being a hockey misfit not just cool, but downright legendary.

May your special day be filled with as many laughs and joyful moments as you've given us through the years. And remember: no matter how many birthdays pass by, you'll always skate circles around Gordon Bombay's pep talks! Keep scoring goals both off-screen and on life's "flying V." Here's wishing a timeless superstar one mighty quacktastic year ahead!
