Puck-tossing Alex Ovechkin continues to be the Santa Claus of hockey

Friday night during the All-Star Skills Competition, Alex Ovechkin asked four-year-old Jonas Smailys to join him on the ice during warmups. Life = made.

Fast forward to the All-Star Game, Ovechkin found a tiny Caps fan in the crowd wearing light blue headphones.

Ovi thought the fan deserved a souvenir. And he delivered.

Look at this fan’s face. He’s so happy.

While on the red carpet, Ovechkin also took selfies with fans.

Well done, Ovi.
