I freakin love Ovechkin. How can you hate him? He's one of the greatest players in the NHL, he has some of the best cellys, good personality, and he's exciting to watch.
I am s Saberes fan and love him too. And live booing him every time he scores in Buffalo and puts his hand to his ear asking for boos from Buffalo fans.
This video has me in tears. I have never commented on UA-cam before, but I am a wreck over this one. My wife and I are expecting our first, a little girl in 9 days and she has been confirmed for T21 (Down Syndrome). We have known for months and never considered terminating, but I was devastated that she might not be able to play hockey. Then I found out there was a Special Needs Hockey League and I saw this video on their homepage. This little girl is so awesome and I can only hope my little girl is as upbeat as she is about life. I am still crying as I type this as my emotions finally boiled over on this one. Excellent work Ovie (from a diehard Flyers fan), and keep going Ann!!
+flyersfan1981 It's been 9 months since you wrote this and I just saw it today. I really, sincerely hope your girl is doing all right. Just to let you know, there is a small family in Finland rooting for your family. All the best.
Ovechkin is such a sweetheart for promising a sushi date with the little cute girl, and for adding the free hockey game, a free Ovechkin jersey, and allowing her to ride with him to the game. He is a good person with a good heart.
ovi is a class guy. scratch that . All the players in the nhl have class , taking their times out of their schedule to make a impact on the lives of people who are less fortunate. that is why i love hockey players they are not selfish and give a lot too the community which they play in .
+TheBlazersfan22 They don't have a choice. It's in their contract to do things like this, if they're told to do it they must otherwise they risk fines for voiding their terms. The same applies to post-game interviews. Now I'm not saying he's not a nice guy as I'm sure he is, but all of these photo-op moments you see are purely for show.
Class act. Hockey is full of amazing men. So awesome to see them appreciate their fans so much. I wish I stuck with hockey but instead I played football.. everyone makes mistakes.
what? almost everyone i know liked and likes ovechkin, i think its only like canadian thing because of the competition between him and crosby, or atleast thats mostly reason to hate someone for no reason
I'm a huge Rangers fan and recognize the Caps as a big rival, but this video just helps cement how classy the Capitals are and in particular: Ovechkin. Without a doubt one of my favourite players in the league.
"Hey Nate, tell Ovechkin 'chop chop'." That was awesome! I just became a fan of Ovechkin not for his skills on the ice but what he does off the ice. Well done Capitals. Go Stars!
I just ran across this video after watching Ovie’s Molson 100 greatest players video. I rarely get choked up, but this did it. Who doesn’t like this guy? His unbridled enthusiasm for the game, his genuine soft touch with this young fan, and his joy in winning the Cup make him my favorite Cap since Dale Hunter.
I DARE someone to tell me that OVI is not a CLASS ACT in granting this little darling's wish and going all out to make her have an unforgettable night going to the game and going to eat afterwards was the icing on the cake. OVI you are truly a MAN among men when it comes to not just being one of the greatest players ever in hockey but a CLASS ACT that has a heart as big as all outdoors and something that 95% of not just hockey players but pro athletic players of all major sports tend to disassociate themselves and become above their truest fans especially the children and YOU SIR in my book absolutely one of the greatest HUMAN BEINGS of professional sports and THE GREATEST EVER LEGENDARY future hall of Fame'r and we are SO PROUD that you were instrumental and determined to bring the cup to D.C. and with all your skill and ability made YOUR DREAM come true all the while being a humble TEAM player and not a self centered but totally focused professional athlete that played for his Team, his fans and his community. THANKS A MILLION for being the GREATEST EVER in my sons eyes as well as mine!!! You are a ROLE MODEL for all future athletes in professional sports to follow. Thanks again to the " GREAT 8"
I think he's by far one of my top 3 favorite players. I'm not really a capitals fan, more of a blackhawk fan till the day I die but Ovechkin has a ridiculous amount of skill, I love the energy and excitement he brings to the ice, he obviously loves hockey and is passionate about it (his interesting goal celebrations), the fact that he's so happy about every goal he scores like it's his first NHL goal, and he's a good guy on and off the ice. It's good to know that he has young kids looking up to him and that he's he's a good role model too. Too bad hockey is really the only sport where the athletes are like that, I think that in the NFL specifically and other professional leagues the players let the money and fame get to their head. These NHL players couldn't care less about the money, they just love playing the game.
orhan omarov Trust me, not all Americans or Canadians despise Russian players. Any smart fan knows that Russians are some of the most talented in all of sports history, especially hockey. I'm Canadian and a gigantic hockey fan, and I truly believe in terms of true, flat out skill, Malkin is the best player I've ever seen. Ovechkin isn't too far behind either.
Ovechkin is a really class person for doing this for Ann who is autistic. I too am autistic and suffer from a rare disorder called "Asbergers Syndrome." I can't give you a dictionary definition, but it means I'm incredibly bright and unusually talented, but have thoughts, emotions, moods, and feelings I can't control and can't tolerate. I was born autistic and with mental illness, but I believe in never giving in. There's too much to lose. I've been through it all suicide attempts and the like back in the distant past, but then when I hit rock bottom I pulled myself up and brushed myself off and now I just take things day by day. I believe in love. That emotion and that belief strengthen a person while hate weakens and destroys people. Hockey is the game I love. Hockey players and anyone else who is non apathetic are who I love. Apathy and hate have no place and 182 people who disliked this have no place.
My all time favorite skater (I'm a goalie so I obviously like the tendys the most) but Ovechkin is my favorite. An arm's legnth of class acts like this, not only does he score, but he is a classy, talented player. Many think he's overrated or I might just like him because he is good...but it's not that. The Great 8 is a likable player.
little pumpkin ,couldn't believe her eyes when she first so the big dude ovie.she went shy and quiet right away. hat a charming little lady she is.and he is the dude with big heart.
Bruins fan here chiming in that Ovechkin deserves a cup... one of the greatest talents we've ever witnessed in the NHL plus a great all around dude, and he has one of the greatest highlight videos of all time. How can you not root for the guy.
From a Rangers fan that couldn't stand the capitals and ovechkin during the playoffs, this is the cutest most adorable thing I have seen. I want a dinner date with Henrick Lundqvist!
I do not like Hockey,but this was the classiest thing I have seen an athlete do in a while. Albert Pujols should get him to partner up for his Foundation.
This is going to sound outrageously rude but this is coming from a place of ignorance, not hate... but is it just me or is Ann one of the highest-functioning Down's Syndrome sufferers i've ever seen?? Her cognitive abilities aren't all that bad and she's only 10 years old. Perhaps she was misdiagnosed? Then again, i can kind of see it in her face/eyes. But still.
***** they have different functional levels like most people. I know some who live like the rest of us and some who are in assisted living. My friends daughter is in a normal classroom with a helper for some minor help. She will most likely grow up to be completely functional :)
I don't think your observation is rude at all. I was through a big chunk of the video before I even noticed, and if it hadn't been pointed out I probably wouldn't have noticed at all.
Perhaps the highest functioning Down's child I've seen on video. I really liked the kid on the video, appreciative, but also very observant & knowledgeable.

Watchout Spencer honestly shut up lol
B ohreqvJoieaddqq
Man hockey players are the nicest athletes
Ikr
For real though. I mean they go OUT of the way to do these things.
Most of them at least.
true
+KenXPanthers23 I mean u should see the worst players
Ovi may be a brutal player on the ice, but he had a big heart off the ice.
Like Fedor
Пять баллов!!!👍👍👍
As a Penguins fan, this made me gain respect for Ovechkin. Awesome.
+TheChosenTaco
same with me
+TheChosenTaco You're no penguin fan
+Musicrecords10
Are you aren't either har har.
From Wings To Hawks Bandwagon You're right
+Musicrecords10 That's like saying Ovechkin would not be a true Capital if he was friends with Crosby
which he is
so
Class act from ovi, great guy. Lots of respect.
This guy is a class act! He's great for the NHL and just an unbelievable talent. Pure dominance!
And this little girl is just amazing.
Duc Luc he definitely deserves a Stanley cup
Ovechkin is such a sweetheart for promising a sushi date with the little cute girl, and for adding the free hockey game, a free Ovechkin jersey, and allowing her to ride with him to the game. He is a good person with a good heart.

every athlete does that. hockey isn't special , the nhl just markets themselves as such.
Lila Bogle we'll football players don't really do this stuff
sean avery isn't a class act
The NHL does way more than other professional sports. This is Goosebumps material.
That kid is to much i cannot wipe the smile off my face right now what a great kid
This is what it's all about. Ovie's a good dude.
The Mook p
Yes he is
FUNNY CAPS
The Mook really?
OversizedBunny69 uh wat
Man this is so classy, he did not simply made that little girl's day, but that's a thing she will remember for the rest of her life ! Respect.
Absolutely hate Ovi when my teams are playing the Caps but he sure is a world class guy!
Translation: "I hate ovi but only when it's my team he is destroying" xD jk
Class act. Hockey is full of amazing men. So awesome to see them appreciate their fans so much. I wish I stuck with hockey but instead I played football.. everyone makes mistakes.
Makes me love Ovi even more. May God always bless you, Ovi.
He came into the NHL unliked. I think he has alot of class now
what? almost everyone i know liked and likes ovechkin, i think its only like canadian thing because of the competition between him and crosby, or atleast thats mostly reason to hate someone for no reason
I'm canadian and I hate Crosby. Like ovechkin way more but like Stamkos the best;)
Jesse Babz do you live in canada
Yeah
Jop3lius i'm canadian lol i've always liked ovie and i like sid.
What a bright kid. And classy player!
4:00 His new girlfriend. Ok. I seriously respect this guy
Xurv lol
This is the cutest thing ever
I know that girl is just the sweetest thing. Love her love of life. Awesome.
That was amazing. Ovie is a great guy.
I'm a huge Rangers fan and recognize the Caps as a big rival, but this video just helps cement how classy the Capitals are and in particular: Ovechkin. Without a doubt one of my favourite players in the league.
Спасибо Овечкину за то что он делает для детей и для всех людей в этом мире! РОССИЯ С ТОБОЙ
Подписываюсь под словами
Я тоже
You don't see that in any other sports
U see that in every sport
+{TGWL} StormierNut2 most
+Kprosekoff You see it in soccer.
+Kprosekoff You see it with baseball, basketball and football all the time. The Make A Wish Foundation grants these types of things every day.
+Amee Bird you said it yourself lol. It's make a wish. He took the initiative.
Ovie has the sweetest heart I can’t get enough of it
I was just smiling the whole time while watching this! This is so adorable!!!!
"No, I got it."
Ovi- "No, I HAVE to help you"
"Hey Nate, tell Ovechkin 'chop chop'." That was awesome! I just became a fan of Ovechkin not for his skills on the ice but what he does off the ice. Well done Capitals. Go Stars!
Ovechkin has done a lot for children in Moscow and Washington. There is no difference in what language they speak!
Im a Ducks fan but I do appreciate this wonderful gesture from Ovechkin.
Wish this would have happened to me when I was a kid.....
Ovi can be so rough on the ice, but off, he's the nicest person. This is why I like hockey.
I just ran across this video after watching Ovie’s Molson 100 greatest players video. I rarely get choked up, but this did it. Who doesn’t like this guy? His unbridled enthusiasm for the game, his genuine soft touch with this young fan, and his joy in winning the Cup make him my favorite Cap since Dale Hunter.
Not a Caps fan but I thought this was very nice of him to do.
I DARE someone to tell me that OVI is not a CLASS ACT in granting this little darling's wish and going all out to make her have an unforgettable night going to the game and going to eat afterwards was the icing on the cake. OVI you are truly a MAN among men when it comes to not just being one of the greatest players ever in hockey but a CLASS ACT that has a heart as big as all outdoors and something that 95% of not just hockey players but pro athletic players of all major sports tend to disassociate themselves and become above their truest fans especially the children and YOU SIR in my book absolutely one of the greatest HUMAN BEINGS of professional sports and THE GREATEST EVER LEGENDARY future hall of Fame'r and we are SO PROUD that you were instrumental and determined to bring the cup to D.C. and with all your skill and ability made YOUR DREAM come true all the while being a humble TEAM player and not a self centered but totally focused professional athlete that played for his Team, his fans and his community.

this Little Girl is putting a big smile on my face! so awesome!
Off the ice these guys are all the best
I more than sure that many NHL players are do the same.
Still huge respect to Ovechkin
Is someone cutting onions around here?

Ninjas they are in and out before ya know it! 😂

The life of an nhl player
NHL players can't jerk off in private without getting their picture taken lol
That is true! XD
+Zachary ROBINSON any sports player can't even take a drink without that happening
Молодец Саша! Девчёнке память на всю жизнь))) Добра всем!

As a habs fan, Ovie is definitely one of my favourite players, he's such a nice guy, very good player and everything, gotta love ov
Flyers fan, i hate the caps but ovechkin has always been liked by me, because his class really shows how awesome of a person he is

little pumpkin ,couldn't believe her eyes when she first

Bruins fan here chiming in that Ovechkin deserves a cup... one of the greatest talents we've ever witnessed in the NHL plus a great all around dude, and he has one of the greatest highlight videos of all time. How can you not root for the guy.
he has a cup
What a nice guy, very cool of him to do that :')
1:25 "It smells like his head" Ok this video is Adorable. Respect for Ovechkin.
She's so outspoken, what a wonderful kid.
This girl is the cutest!! She deserves the world!
Huge respect on him.
Русская душа Овечкин!
What a sweetheart he is :) :) genuine guy :)
How excited that girl must have felt the whole night. That is a moment she will remember and cherish forever. What a great guy Ovi is!
What a great guy! Respect!
Just because he plays with fire on the ice doesn't mean he's not a classy guy.. I don't know why you're all surprised.
this hit right in the feels, happy tears :')
she will never forget that moment
Penguins fan here, class act Ovi, class act.
Much more respect for Ovechkin.
Ovechkin is my favorite player just a class act and one hell of an athlete how can you not like this guy?
How could you dislike this. So classy.
From a Rangers fan that couldn't stand the capitals and ovechkin during the playoffs, this is the cutest most adorable thing I have seen. I want a dinner date with Henrick Lundqvist!
Rangers fan can't even spell their goalies name correctly 😂😂
I'm 11 dude cut me some slack. And I'm pretty sure it's spelled correctly, maybe you just don't know how to spell it.
You clearly don't know how to spell cause I just checked and that's how u spell it.
I'm 11 too 😂
Wow...
I've watched this so many times
shes adorable with small gestures we can make big changes respect from a habs fan !
That was so sweet... He's a stand-up dude
Good guy Ovechkin.
Crosby cant do that
Except he does? Lol salty kid
And why not? I'm sure he's perfectly capable
Ben Adams Hes only done them in groups or went to the hospital
***** is that not good enough lol
stop watching hockey and make HL3 already
Pens fan here. The 221 people who disliked this video are cold, heartless, and miserable. Well done Ovie.
when ever i'm super bummed out i watch stuff like this. makes me appreciate things a little more. good going NHL!
That is the cutest thing ever!
Loveeeeee the penguins but ovi is a hell of a guy
This is so cool. This is what athletes should do. Takes so little for them to make a huge memory that will stick with them for the rest of their life
A great guy who finally got his stanley cup. A sweet little girl who got to meet her favorite hockey star. This is awesome. Thanks for posting.
Props to Ovie what a nice guy
I do not like Hockey,but this was the classiest thing I have seen an athlete do in a while. Albert Pujols should get him to partner up for his Foundation.
What a truly amazing guy! He's as cool as he is talented👍
I always love hearing about heroes giving back to the fans!
This is going to sound outrageously rude but this is coming from a place of ignorance, not hate... but is it just me or is Ann one of the highest-functioning Down's Syndrome sufferers i've ever seen?? Her cognitive abilities aren't all that bad and she's only 10 years old. Perhaps she was misdiagnosed? Then again, i can kind of see it in her face/eyes. But still.
***** It almost does seem like that, she seems exactly like my younger cousin, who has no form of Down's Syndrome whatsoever. Just odd, I suppose.
***** ya i hear you
***** they have different functional levels like most people. I know some who live like the rest of us and some who are in assisted living. My friends daughter is in a normal classroom with a helper for some minor help. She will most likely grow up to be completely functional :)
I don't think your observation is rude at all. I was through a big chunk of the video before I even noticed, and if it hadn't been pointed out I probably wouldn't have noticed at all.
Perhaps the highest functioning Down's child I've seen on video. I really liked the kid on the video, appreciative, but also very observant & knowledgeable.
Ovi the Russian eating Japanese sushi lol. Much respect for Ovechkin!
without chop sticks
12 years old ı love yolu Alexander oveckin
when i see these things ot always makes me cry
I WANT TO HAVE DINNER WITH OVI
Katrina Ratner I WANT DINNER WITH BIG Z
I would have dinner with Phil kessel but I’m afraid of being eaten
I came to the video to troll and make fun of Ovi, but...I can't
Ovechkin - Probably the nicest hockeyplayer out there !
Regs from Sweden/Kent
Class act and Good guy, and the little girl was precious :)
