Description

Mario Lemieux, left, presents then-president George H.W. Bush with a Pittsburgh Penguins jersey after they won the Stanley Cup in 1991-92 during the team’s official White House visit. Lemieux became an NHL legend during his All-Star and championship career. Lemieux, the overall No. 1 pick by Pittsburgh in 1984, had a remarkable yet frustrating career. He was named to the NHL All-Rookie team in 1985, second-team All-Star four times, the All-Star first team 10 times, won two Stanley Cup championships, named a six-time Art Ross Trophy winner, four-time Ted Lindsay award, Lester Patrick Trophy, Bill Masterson Memorial Trophy, a three-time Hart Memorial Trophy winner, two-time Conn Smythe Trophy winner, Calder Memorial Trophy, and was named to the NHL’s 100 Greatest Players List. Lemieux scored 1,723 points in 915 games despite battling serious injuries and illnesses, including retiring three times only to come back stronger. He finally retired for good after being diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat in 2005.
