Mario Lemieux
He won two Stanley Cups as a player; His number 66 is retired by the Penguins; He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1997
Lemieux's career was marked by both incredible achievements and significant challenges. Despite being plagued by numerous health issues, including Hodgkin's lymphoma and chronic back pain, he consistently performed at an elite level. He won the Hart Trophy as the NHL's most valuable player three times and led the league in points six times, earning the Art Ross Trophy. In 1988, Lemieux accomplished the rare feat of scoring a goal in all five possible situations in a single game, a testament to his versatility and skill. His career totals of 690 goals and 1,033 assists place him among the top scorers in NHL history, and his points-per-game average ranks second only to Wayne Gretzky.
In addition to his on-ice accomplishments, Lemieux made a significant impact off the ice as well. In 1999, he purchased the financially struggling Pittsburgh Penguins, saving the franchise from bankruptcy. Under his ownership, the team went on to win three more Stanley Cup titles in 2009, 2016, and 2017. Lemieux is the only person in NHL history to have his name on the Stanley Cup both as a player and as an owner. His leadership and vision helped transform the Penguins into one of the most successful franchises in the league, and his contributions to the sport have been widely recognized.
Lemieux's legacy extends beyond his playing career. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame immediately after his first retirement in 1997, with the usual three-year waiting period waived in his honor. He returned to the ice in 2000, becoming one of only a few Hall of Famers to play after being inducted. Lemieux's influence on the game of hockey is immeasurable, and his perseverance in the face of adversity has inspired countless fans and players alike. In 2017, he was named one of the "100 Greatest NHL Players," further cementing his place in hockey history.
