Happy 36th birthday to four-time NHL All-Star, two-time Stanley Cup champion and 2015-16 James Norris Trophy winner, Drew Doughty!

Doughty has spent his entire 18-year NHL career with the Los Angeles Kings, and was a key cog in both of their runs to lifting the Stanley Cup in 2012 and 2014. In total, he’s played over 1,200 games with the Kings in his career, racking up 162 goals and 534 assists while adding another 64 points in 10 postseason runs.

Doughty has also had a decorated international career with Canada, winning gold medals at the 2010 and 2014 Winter Olympics as well as the first-ever Four Nations Face-Off last year.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. The James Norris Trophy goes to the NHL’s top defenseman for each season. With that being said, how many of the Norris Trophy winners since 1976-77 can you name in seven minutes?

Good luck!
