Saku Koivu is a proven winner in international hockey, having earned a Gold Medal at the 1995 IIHF World Championships, a Silver Medal at the 2006 Olympics, and Bronze Medals at the 1994, 1998 and 2010 Olympics. In the NHL, the beloved former captain of the Montreal Canadiens faced a challenging 2001-02 season, undergoing cancer treatment that limited him to just three regular-season games. Despite the setback, Koivu made a remarkable comeback in the playoffs. In Game 3 of the first round against the Boston Bruins, the Canadiens' historic rivals, he scored the game-winning goal in front of a roaring home crowd. Koivu's courage and resilience earned him the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy that season.
