Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on February 18, 1976)

Happy Birthday, Casey Powell! You've dodged another defender—and another candle on the cake—just like when you masterfully led the Long Island Lizards to Major League Lacrosse's first-ever championship back in 2001. Even birthdays can't keep up with your lightning-fast moves and legendary stick skills!

Now officially a member of lacrosse royalty (thank you Lacrosse Magazine All-Century Team selection!), you're proof age is just a number—not unlike goals scored or defenders left behind wondering what happened. Here's hoping this year brings plenty more winning shots off-field too: lots of laughs, joy-filled celebrations, and no penalties for excessive celebrating!
