Mark Messier

Mark Douglas John Messier (born January 18, 1961, in Edmonton, Alberta) is a former Ice Hockey center in the National Hockey League, who spent over a quarter of a century (including the lock out '04-05 season) in the NHL (1979-2005) with the Edmonton Oilers, New York Rangers, and Vancouver Canucks, having also played professionally with the World Hockey Association's Indianapolis Racers and Cincinnati Stingers. Nicknamed 'Moose', Messier is one of the fiercest, most determined, intense, and emotional leaders the sports world has ever seen, establishing a larger-than-life persona for himself with jaw-dropping clutch performances. He holds the distinction of being the only man ever to captain two different franchises to Stanley Cup championships; he won six championships in total.
