Let's make this birthday one to remember.

57 years old (Born on August 17, 1967)

Happy Birthday, Nelson Emerson! You're the guy who skated with more NHL teams than most people collect hockey jerseys. From your dazzling speed down the ice to that sneaky wrist shot—fans knew when good old number 19 stepped out there, something exciting was bound to happen.

Now as an esteemed coach for the LA Kings since '08, you've hung up those well-traveled skates in favor of a clipboard and whistle. But honestly—after surviving playing stints at Winnipeg's winter chill and Hartford Whalers' neon greens—you've earned this warmer gig!

Wishing you another fantastic year full of joy—and fewer penalties!
