Joe Sakic Turns 51!

Happy Birthday to the best 15th overall pick of all time, Joe Sakic!

Sakic lead the Colorado Avalanche to 2 Stanley Cup Championships in 1996 and 2001. He also won a Gold Medal with Team Canada in the 2002 Olympics. He tallied 625 goals, 1016 assists for a total of 1641 points in 1378 games. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2012 and is now the General Manager of the Colorado Avalanche. He is proving to be as great of a manager as he was a hockey player.

Happy 51st birthday, Burnaby Joe!
