Let's make this birthday one to remember.

35 years old (Born on June 13, 1989)

Happy Birthday, Ryan McDonagh! From your NHL debut with the New York Rangers on January 3, 2011, you've been skating circles around opponents and making defense look easy. Whether it's blocking shots or snagging silver medals for Team USA at the World U18 Championships back in '07, you always bring your A-game.

Here's to another year of epic defensive plays and unforgettable moments on ice. May your birthday be filled with fewer penalties than candles—and may all your slapshots find their way past goalies who wish they'd called in sick that day. Keep being awesome—cheers to you!
