Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on July 11, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Joe Pavelski! You're aging like fine wine—or should we say, skating smoother than ever? From your early days drafted by the San Jose Sharks in 2006 to becoming Captain America on ice and bringing home that shiny silver medal from Vancouver's Winter Olympics in 2010—you've always been clutch when it counts.

Whether it's tipping pucks into nets or leading teams with grit and grace, you've proven age is just a number. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as scoring another playoff goal—because let's face it: you're still making highlight reels look easy. Cheers to many more years of defying Father Time!
