Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on March 31, 1985)

Happy birthday, Steve Bernier! From San Jose to Buffalo, Vancouver to Florida—and finally finding your groove with New Jersey—you've mastered the art of frequent flyer miles and unpacking suitcases faster than scoring hat tricks. Your journey might have had more detours than a GPS gone rogue, but every stop made you tougher on the ice (and expert-level at packing snacks).

Your knack for clutch goals in key moments never fades—Devils fans still celebrate that unforgettable 2012 playoff run where your grit shone brightly. Here's hoping this year brings fewer penalties and even bigger victories. Cheers to another great season ahead!
