Happy Birthday to the legendary Jean Ratelle! You skated circles around opponents, dazzled fans with your smooth moves, and yet somehow managed to stay hockey's best-kept secret. Seriously, how does a Hall of Famer fly under the radar? Maybe you were just too classy for headlines!From your unforgettable 109-point season in '71-'72 to being inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame (finally!), you've always been quietly brilliant. Today we celebrate not only your incredible talent but also your humility—because let's face it, modesty is rare when you're that good. Cheers to you, Jean; may this birthday be as timeless as your legacy!
