Alex Ovechkin, the star of the Washington Capitals, has another reason to celebrate, beyond his achievements on the ice. The player, known for his love of cereal, has launched a limited edition called “Ovi’s Great Crunch”, a cereal that commemorates his historical goal record in the NHL.”I love cereal,” Ovechkin told our media. “My kids love cereal. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.”Last season, Ovechkin made history with the “Gr8Chase”, surpassing Wayne Gretzky’s goal record (894) and setting a new mark of 897 goals. This achievement is now celebrated in a way that combines his sporting success with his taste for cereal.The cereal “Ovi’s Great Crunch” will be available exclusively at Giant Food stores in the Washington, D.C. area. It is described as a “classic cornflakes-style cereal” featuring Ovechkin in the franchise’s “screaming eagle” jersey. The product will go on sale starting Friday, priced at $2.99 for an 18-ounce family-size box.
I think it’s very important, if you have the opportunity, to help children and people to make them happy.
OvechkinThis is not Ovechkin’s first collaboration with Giant Food. In 2019, they launched Ovi O’s, and the boxes sold out in a matter of days.Ovechkin has always been a cereal lover, even in his early days in the NHL, when he lived with the then-Capitals general manager, George McPhee.Ovechkin is entering his 21st season in the NHL, all with the Capitals.Back then, my English wasn’t very good. I didn’t know how to pronounce ‘cereal’, so I used my Russian language. He didn’t understand. He laughed. But he knew what I meant.
