Mark Messier, nicknamed "The Moose," is widely regarded as one of the greatest ice hockey players of all time. He played 25 seasons in the NHL for the Edmonton Oilers, New York Rangers, and Vancouver Canucks. A dominant center known for his exceptional leadership, scoring ability, and physical presence, Messier captained both the Oilers and the Rangers to Stanley Cup victories. He is the only player to captain two different teams to championships, and his inspiring leadership, especially his guarantee of a Rangers win in Game 6 of the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals, cemented his legacy as a true leader on and off the ice. Messier retired with the second-most points in NHL history and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2007.
