Capitals star Alexander Ovechkin went back home to enjoy the World Cup festivities in Russia — and he brought an extremely important item along with him.
Ovie, along with the Stanley Cup Trophy, paid his father a visit, because it’s important for family to be able to enjoy the shiny piece of hardware as well.

Also, check out this painting of Ovie, which is pretty sweet.
