Let's make this birthday one to remember.

36 years old (Born on May 08, 1989)

Happy Birthday, Matt! Seems like just yesterday you joined the Islanders in 2008, only to charm fans with your thunderous checks and unmatched energy on the ice. Signing that four-year contract back in 2012 definitely helps prove you're not planning to retire anytime soon—thank goodness for that!

From crunch-time hits to memorable goals, you've kept fans cheering year after year. You're a timeless powerhouse on skates; opponents still shudder at the thought of meeting "Matty Ice" along the boards.

Here's wishing you another fantastic year filled with great plays—and hopefully fewer penalty box visits. Cheers, Matt!
