Washington, DC and it’s sports, there is nothing like it!

Growing up in the DC area during the 2004-05 sports season, basketball was rebranding from the Michael Jordan retirement with the acquisition of Gilbert Arenas but hockey was also on the map with the drafting of Russian player Alexander Ovechkin.

Alexander or Ovi as he is rightfully called made his stamp on the capitals.

In 2018, the Washington Capitals broke through and won the Stanley Cup in 5 games. It was a sight to see. I went to the caps parade, it was soo much fun and the energy in the city that day was amazing.

April 2025, Ovi became the all time goal scorer in the NHL breaking Wayne Gretzky.

He has solidified his place in history.

Ovi is a hall of fame player and a DC legend.

He has played for over 20 years and left a legacy that is untouchable.

His future is uncertain at this moment on whether he will play another season or retire. I hope he comes back for one more season. I need to get to a caps game. I have yet to go, I heard they are so much fun. I know he will make the right decision. Congrats Ovi on a great career thus far. 🙂
