Phil Kessel tied the NHL record for the “Ironman Streak”, for a player dressing up for consecutive NHL games. This is pretty remarkable given the start of his career he dealt with cancer. He was a Bruin, a Leaf, a Penguin, a Coyote, and now a Golden Knight. He’s become a meme to most hockey fans, for good or ill. I like to think that most readers here it’s purely good.
And I wanted to revisit some of the highlights of career.

Can’t stress enough that Kessel’s career pretty much started with fighting and beating cancer.
