Washington installed a throne of washers in honor of Ovechkin, and also announced the placement of a head meter throughout the city
The Washington hockey club officially spoke about several events for fans in support of the Russian striker Alexander Ovechkin.
Ovechkin with 887 washers occupies the second place in the list of the best snipers in the history of regular NHL championships. The Russian in this indicator is second only to Canadian Wayne Gretzki (894).
The Washington’s home arena was returned to the throne from the washers, which was previously installed in honor of Ovechkin in 2023. The light indicator will show how many goals it remains to abandon the Russian to beat the Gretzky’s record. Also, counters with the number of goals will be installed throughout Washington and County of Colombia. In addition, in the arena the exhibition stylized for the locker room with memorable things of Ovechkin from various matches will be presented.
In the area of Adams Morgan in Washington, a mural dedicated to Ovechkin will also appear. The author of the work will be the artist Brandon Hill. Also, in honor of Ovechkin, a fresco will be created on a historical building in one of the areas of Washington.
In addition, Washington announced the creation of a special filter for social networks, thanks to which users will be able to “try on the appearance and proprietary smile of Ovechkin.”
“Washington” in the next game on March 18 will receive Detroit.
