ssional hockey, and the last active player who had played in the NHL in the 1970s.
Messier is considered one of the greatest ice hockey players of all time.

He is a six-time Stanley Cup champion - five with the Oilers and one with the Rangers and is the only player to captain two professional teams to championships.

He twice won the Hart Memorial Trophy as the league's most valuable player, in 1990 and 1992, and in 1984 he won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player during the playoffs. He is a 15-time NHL All-Star. In 2007, he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, in his first year of eligibility. In 2017 Messier was named one of the '100 Greatest NHL Players' in history.
