Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on May 05, 1981)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Justin Johnson—the right winger whose epic journey from frosty Alaska with the Aces up into Manchester has become one for hockey lore. Who knew all those years in chilly arenas and shaky buses could add such timeless frosting on your own cake?

Watching you blaze onto AHL ice back in 2010 reminded us why we love this crazy sport—goals, grit, and glorious moments! So here's wishing you a birthday filled with fewer penalty minutes than candles, more hat-trick celebrations than career fractures—and remember: Every great player ages gracefully (but their slapshots sure don't!).

Enjoy your day!
