Dubbed "Stevie Wonder" by teammates and coaches, any Red Wings fan who grew up in the late 1980s and 1990s will not need an explanation for Steve Yzerman's on-ice nickname.

Widely considered as one of the best players to ever grace the ice, the now-53-year-old was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2014 and is still firmly entrenched in the sport as the general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
