One of hockey’s most prominent figures turned 80 today -- happy birthday, Don Cherry.

Grapes is celebrating octogenarian status in Russia, as he’ll be part of the CBC team covering the Winter Olympic hockey tournament in Sochi.

As for PHT’s celebration, we thought it’d be prudent to highlight one of the best Cherry-related videos out there -- the one where he jams on his piano desk.

Smoooooooth.
