Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on December 25, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Jim Dowd! You're the man who could skate circles around opponents faster than cake disappears at a team party. From your legendary days claiming Stanley Cup glory with the New Jersey Devils in 1995 to your cross-continent hockey adventures from Calgary to Long Island, you've scored a career packed tighter than goalie pads.

While some players merely collect jerseys, you collected entire NHL teams! Your versatile hustle and heart inspired teammates everywhere you played (all seventeen impressive seasons). Here's hoping your birthday celebration feels just like hoisting that Stanley Cup—minus the bruises and playoff beards. Cheers, Jim!
