Let's make this birthday one to remember.

37 years old (Born on July 24, 1987)

Happy Birthday, Nathan Gerbe! You may be small in stature, but your grit and determination on the ice have always been larger than life. From your feisty debut with the Buffalo Sabres back in 2008 to skating circles around opponents with the Carolina Hurricanes starting in 2013, you've proven that great things truly do come in compact packages.

Whether it's sneaking past towering defensemen or scoring clutch goals when it matters most, you've consistently shown fans everywhere that heart beats height every time. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as watching a goalie realize he's just been outsmarted by hockey's favorite undersized winger. Cheers!
