Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on March 02, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Jonathan Ericsson! From your NHL debut with the Detroit Red Wings in 2007-2008 to proudly representing Sweden and bringing home that shiny silver medal at the Sochi Olympics in 2014—you've certainly skated circles around most of us mere mortals. Your defensive skills have always been smoother than Swedish chocolate, tougher than IKEA furniture instructions, and more reliable than a Volvo.

Here's hoping this birthday is as legendary as your slapshot and filled with fewer penalties than an average hockey game. May you continue defending life's goals better than anyone else—on or off the ice! Cheers!
