Hall of Fame Hockey star and Hodgkin's Lymphoma survivor Mario Lemieux made it official on Dec. 7 that he will come out of retirement and return to the Pittsburgh Penguins after more than three seasons away from the league. "Super Mario" is currently the Penguin's owner. Lemieux was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease in Jan.1993, halfway through the  regular season. Only missing 20 games to undergo treatment, Lemieux returned in March of that same year to win the league scoring championship.
