Power Rankings: A Big Year for the Beard

Happy Birthday Brent Burns! In honor of the bearded beauty's birthday, we're taking a look back at the defenseman's past year. After all, birthdays are a great time to reflect on the year gone by and remember all the cool things that happened.
There's no question that at the age of 32, Brent Burns had a year for the books, so we decided to rank some of the top moments.
Giveaway Items
Burns green suit bobblehead, Burns grill, Burns nutcracker, Burns wine glass, Burns camoflauge suit bobblehead. You name it, it's probably been made for a San Jose Sharks giveaway item. Brent Burns takes the (birthday) cake for inspiring the most giveaway items this past year.

Unforgettable Family Vacation
It's not every family vacation that you get mistaken for Jack Sparrow.

All-Star Weekend
Brent Burns represented the San Jose Sharks in Tampa for the 2018 All Star Game. It was a weekend full of family, friends and of course, hockey! But when the Burns gang gets together, you know it's going to be one for the books!

Sommelier Commercial
Another year, another hysterical Sharks For Life commercial with the beards. This year's sommelier spot had the beards sipping…or should we say HAMMERING vino.

@Brent\Burns\88
A monumental moment happened more recently for Brent- he joined the world of Instagram! Selfishly, we at sjsharks.com are probably the most excited about this. Now we can all get an inside look at the Burns' ranch life and see the camo gear put to its intentional use. P.S. Give him a follow on

ESPN Body Issue
Bearing it all with your bearded buddy? Yep, that's a moment you'll never forget, especially when it's published on the cover of the ESPN Magazine.

Texas Strong Charity
Brent and his wife, Susan put together a charity effort after the Hurricane Harvey tragedy that hit Houston, Texas. They sold Burnzie-themed Texas Strong t-shirts, and held a meet and greet to raise funds. Making an impact both on and off the ice makes for a great year. Thanks Burnzie!

Norris Trophy Winner
On June 21, 2017 Brent Burns was awarded the James Norris Memorial Trophy at the NHL Awards in Las Vegas. Earning the honor of Top Defenseman in the National Hockey League is something you never forget, that's why this moment tops Brent Burns' 32nd year.

Cheers to 33, Burnzie!
