Let's make this birthday one to remember.

62 years old (Born on July 08, 1962)

Happy Birthday to Jan Erixon, the legendary "Shadow," who spent a decade haunting opposing forwards for the New York Rangers. You were so effective at shutting down star players that rumor has it guys still wake up at night feeling your legendary defensive pressure! Your stick work and positional play were so good, we're not entirely sure you ever needed a goalie behind you.

Today we raise a toast to your unmatched determination, dedication, and skills that made Madison Square Garden roar during some thrilling games. Here's hoping this year's birthday celebration shadows all the other birthdays you've had—in a good way! Cheers!
