Back to Caps Practice

Mommy and Nickolas took a special trip to the Kettler Center to watch the Capitals practice - this time, with their star player ALEXANDER OVECHKIN and without Nickolas's little sisters since they stayed home with daddy. The team was in fun spirits after a big overtime opening season win the night before. This was our first time seeing Ovechkin up close. At one point while waiting for his turn in a drill, he skated close to the glass where Nickolas was watching. Nickolas tapped the glass with his hands and Ovie gave a tap back with his stick. It was so cool!

Nickolas had a blast playing with some big kids and their real puck. Nickolas was showing off for Nikolas Backstrom, his second favorite.
