Let's make this birthday one to remember.

37 years old (Born on August 31, 1987)

Happy Birthday, Ondrej Pavelec! From the Thrashers to the Jets—you've soared across nets faster than fans could adjust their jerseys. Whether blocking shots with style in Atlanta or serving as Winnipeg's icy wall since 2011, your goaltending was legendary enough to make local pucks reconsider their life choices.

Your triumphs with the Chicago Wolves marked only a warm-up for greatness; when it came down to clutch saves and dazzling glove grabs, you always delivered. Enjoy your day filled with fewer flying objects than usual—may no cake slice ever slip past you today like those unlucky pucks did!
