Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on August 27, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Kip Brennan! From dominating the ice with your fierce hockey skills to becoming everyone's favorite "bad boy" on VH1's Sober House—your journey has certainly been unforgettable. Who knew that trading punches in sub-NHL arenas would prepare you so well for reality TV drama?

But seriously, beneath all those tough-guy antics lies a guy who's truly one-of-a-kind and always entertaining. Here's hoping this year brings fewer penalties off-ice and more victories (and laughs) wherever life takes you next.

Cheers to another memorable trip around the rink of life—you legend-in-your-own-way superstar!
