Let's make this birthday one to remember.

34 years old (Born on September 20, 1990)

Happy Birthday, John Tavares! From dominating the ice as the Islanders’ first overall pick in 2009 to proudly donning the captain's jersey in 2013—you've always been skating circles around us mere mortals. We've lost count of your clutch goals and epic assists but let's be honest—your true superpower might just be keeping fans on their toes.

Whether you're carving through defensemen like Thanksgiving turkey or casually redefining what it means to "lead by example," we salute you today. Here's hoping your birthday is smoother than one of your signature wrist shots—and trust us, those beauties age well!
