The Washington Capitals are in midst of their Alumni Weekend and Friday night, a special guest graced its signature event.

Alex Ovechkin attended the Stars & Spirits rooftop event held at The View of DC in Rosslyn, VA

Ovechkin took photos with fans, including Capitals T-Shirt Guy Charlie McManus, and mingled with other former players.

It's going to be a Gr8 year

Ovechkin also took time to pose with Olaf Kolzig and Brent Johnson. There was no love lost despite Ovi scoring a combined four different times on the former Capitals goaltenders during their long careers in the league.

The night marked the fifth time the Washington Capitals Alumni Association has hosted the Stars and Spirit event which benefits the Capitals Alumni Community Fund.

The cocktail event featured a variety of tastings, custom drinks, and premium hors d’oeuvres while fans were provided with a 360-degree panoramic views of Washington DC. The event, held from 7 pm to 10 pm, also featured both a live and silent auction. The proceeds will be used by the Capitals Alumni Community Fund to grow the game of hockey within the DC area and support local charities.

Best thing in the auction.
OK, not really

“We appreciate all the fans who come tonight for support,” Peter Bondra said. “The auction went well. I’m buying couple things. A couple people wanted tequila tasting that I’m looking forward to. At the end of the day, we want to thank you for the support, all the fans coming in and help us for good cause.”
