After breaking the NHL goals record and winning the Stanley Cup with the Washington Capitals, Alex Ovechkin is one of the most recognizable players in NHL history. But despite his worldwide fame, Ovechkin still seems pretty down-to-earth and, in some aspects, lives a normal life.
While Ovi has a designated Subway employee who personally delivers his food to his car before road trips — hey, you gotta avoid the crowds on such a tight schedule — he’s kept things about the same as you and I would with haircuts, which blew the minds recently of his Capitals teammates.
Ovechkin — a former Hair Cuttery spokesman — made the revelation inside the tunnel on November 17, ahead of the team’s game against the Los Angeles Kings. The Capitals posted the behind-the-scenes video on their social media.
