Some people would say that Penguins' owner and hall of famer Mario Lemieux is one person who almost has almost everything.
After all, he won two Stanley Cup championships as a player, one as an owner.
Now, he's even being knighted -- today Lemieux becomes Sir Mario Lemieux.
He will receive the rank of Knight from Quebec Premier Jean Charest.
Lemieux was born in Montreal and lived there until he was drafted by the Penguins back in 1984.
