Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on January 19, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Thomas Vanek! From lighting up the ice in Buffalo and earning your first NHL All-Star nod in 2009, to making quick pit stops with the Islanders before dazzling fans in Montreal—your career has been as smooth as your skating and as sharp as your slapshot.

Whether you're scoring clutch goals or switching jerseys faster than we can keep track, you've always kept us entertained. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with fewer trades and more cake—because unlike hockey teams, calories don't count when you're celebrating greatness. Cheers to another year of unforgettable moments on (and off) the ice!
