Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on July 26, 1951)

Happy Birthday, Rick Martin! With a scoring touch sharper than your hockey skates, you had goalies nervous from 1972 to '78. Seven NHL All-Star appearances isn't something most players even dream about—but it seems back then every shot you took found its way directly into the net!

Your legendary French Connection line with Perreault and Robert was smoother than birthday cake icing—fast-skating proof that teamwork makes forward lines timeless. Today we celebrate not only amazing goals but also an era when mullets flew gracefully beneath helmets: here's hoping your celebrations today are as classy (and fun) as your unforgettable playing days!
