Stan Mikita
Stan Mikita was a renowned Slovak-Canadian ice hockey player who spent his entire NHL career with the Chicago Blackhawks, where he became one of the league's most skilled forwards. A two-time Stanley Cup champion and Hall of Famer, Mikita was known for his exceptional playmaking ability and won the Hart Trophy as the league's MVP twice.
