NHL Birthday Blog Battle: December 19th-25th

Welcome to another Birthday Blog Battle, where we will be looking at birthday's of current/retired NHL players. As an added bonus, I will compare points between active players, and retired players. A Birthday Blog Battle of sorts. I personally think it is fun and interesting to find out when NHL players are born. Maybe you share a birthday with one of your favorite NHL stars! This will become a weekly blog article, so if you like this one, you will be happy to know that there will be more like it
