Alex Ovechkin was a busy man on Tuesday night. After signing autographs and mingling with fans at the Capitals’ annual season ticket holder event, the Great 8 made his way to Georgetown where he was honored by Hublot, a luxury Swiss watchmaker.
Hublot named Ovechkin a “friend of the brand” during the fancy dinner reception at the acclaimed fusion restaurant, Nobu. The distinction is a big honor as Ovechkin joins other famous athletes like Usain Bolt and Pélé in Hublot’s portfolio of friends.
