A few minutes after the Washington Capitals won the Kraft Hockeyville game via Mike Green’s shootout goal, Jack Jablonski tweeted out a gift that he got recently from Caps captain Alex Ovechkin. It’s a signed helmet from Ovechkin that reads in Russian, “Be healthy and good luck! Be a good guy! From Ovi.”
Jablonksi tweeted in response, “An @ovi8 helmet! Can’t thank you enough!! Good luck this season! You’re my hero #iloverussians.”
For those not familiar with the story, Jablonski was a high school hockey player in Minnesota who got paralyzed during a game. Check out this beautiful video.
Jablonski has become an inspiration in the hockey world just through his sheer positivity. Recently, he was drafted and given a roster spot by the USHL’s Chicago Steel this year. He is officially on their roster and was given the number 13.
What an awesome gift from Ovi.
