We wish we could have been there first hand to see Alex Ovechkin share the Stanley Cup with the people of Russia. Thankfully there is social media we have gathered up our favorite shots of Ovi celebrating, as shared by the media and his friends.
Alex took the Cup to the the FIFA Fanfest – a perfect venue for tons of fans to have their photo taken with their favorite hockey player!
Thanks to Tom Gulitti for some of the best photos of the day- starting with the fan conveyor belt and Team Dynomo visit. Check out the little kids who he has inspired!

Of all the moments Ovi shared today- nothing touched us more than seeing him pass the Cup to Papa O!!!

Sleep tight Ovi for tomorrow your little friend continues his journey without you!
