Mario Lemieux is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player. He played parts of 17 National Hockey League (NHL) seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins from 1984 to 2006, assuming ownership in 1999. Nicknamed "The Magnificent One", as well as "Super Mario", he is widely acknowledged to have been one of the greatest players of all time.

Lemieux led Pittsburgh to consecutive Stanley Cup championships in 1991 and 1992. Under his ownership, the Penguins won additional titles in 2009, 2016, and 2017. He is the only man to have his name on the Cup as both a player and an owner. He led Team Canada to an Olympic gold medal in 2002, a championship at the 2004 World Cup of Hockey, and a Canada Cup in 1987. He won the Lester B. Pearson Award as the most outstanding player voted by the players four times, the Hart Trophy as the NHL's most valuable player (MVP) during the regular season three times, the Art Ross Trophy as the league's points leader six times, and the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoffs MVP in 1991 and 1992. He is the only player to score one goal in each of the five possible situations in a single NHL game, a feat he accomplished in 1988. At the time of his retirement, he was the NHL's seventh-highest career points scorer with 690 goals and 1,033 assists. He ranks second in NHL history with a 0.754 career goals-per-game average, behind only Mike Bossy (0.762). In 2004, he was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame.

The Hockey Hall of Fame inducted Lemieux immediately after his first retirement in 1997, waiving the normal three-year waiting period; upon his return in 2000, he became the third Hall of Famer (after Gordie Howe and Guy Lafleur) to play after being inducted. Lemieux's impact on the NHL has been significant. In 2017, he was named one of the "100 Greatest NHL Players".

I didn&#39;t really know how much I loved to play Hockey until I stopped

Players don&#39;t realize just how much it means to win the Stanley Cup until it actually happens

Nothing is more scary than the word cancer

&quot;She&#39;s always been the one for me. She&#39;s a wonderful wife and mother. I couldn&#39;t imagine life without our children&quot; (on his wife, Nathalie Lemieux, and their 4 children)

On her husband: He&#39;s a hockey player, and he&#39;s very good at it, but I married the person.
