Let's make this birthday one to remember.

34 years old (Born on June 24, 1990)

Happy Birthday, Michael DelZotto! From your exciting NHL debut with the New York Rangers in 2009 to becoming a reliable defenseman known for clutch plays and smooth skating, you've certainly made hockey fans cheer (and opponents groan). Whether it was scoring timely goals or delivering memorable hits on ice, you always kept us entertained.

Even after swapping Broadway lights for Nashville's honky-tonks midway through the 2013-14 season, your passion never faded. Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer penalties off the ice—and plenty of cake instead. Keep defending like a champ; just remember that age is only important if you're cheese or wine!
