Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on December 02, 1955)

Happy Birthday, Paul Holmgren! From skating fiercely with the Flyers and North Stars to calling shots from behind the bench and front office, you've truly done it all. Your legendary toughness on ice was matched only by your savvy moves as GM—proving you could handle both slapshots and spreadsheets.

Whether leading Philly into playoff battles or steering them wisely from upstairs, your passion for hockey never faded. You've worn every hat (and helmet) imaginable in this sport; here's hoping today you're wearing a party hat instead!

Wishing you another year filled with laughter, joy—and fewer penalty minutes off-ice!
