Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on October 08, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Raffi Torres! From skating circles around opponents with the Islanders and Oilers to lighting up arenas in Columbus and Buffalo, you've always known how to make an entrance. And let's not forget your move to Arizona—clearly you decided sunshine was better for scoring goals!

Whether delivering clutch playoff performances or keeping teammates laughing off-ice, you're a true original who never fails at making hockey entertaining. Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer penalty minutes but plenty of cake—and may all future hits be strictly on highlight reels only.

Cheers to another year as legendary as your slapshot!
