"Alexander Ovechkin has expressed such a desire, and literally in October he will send us a whole lot of ammunition for the children," said the President of the club. "And we'll be pleased to hand out the uniforms on his behalf to the kids and once again to say "thanks for your support, moral, material, and just in general for you being with us". It is Great honor for us, that one of the greatest players of our time is an advisor to the club management," said M. Tyurkin.
Alexander Ovechkin works as an adviser to the President of UHC Dynamo since July 1, 2010. During this time the famous hockey player had time to meet with the young inmates of the club and watch some games of the Dynamo team.

This news further confims Ovie's devotion and dedication to his alumni club Dynamo. Good for him and the kids who will benefit.
However, I'm confused about one thing. I thought I read somewhere that Ovie promised to give a hockey clinic for the kids some time in September. Did he do this before he returned to the US and I wasn't aware of it? Or did I completely misunderstand and have my "facts" mixed up?
It is good to see him looking after the kids.
I hope he has the same dedication to the Caps organization after he retires from playing.
so what were the results of the birthday contest, or were all submissions winners?
