Alexander Ovechkin, one of the best hockey players in the world, isn’t really known as someone who loses his head. This spot by Chicago-based Cramer-Krasselt would indicate, however, that he did and it wound up on the top shelf of a high school student’s locker. Seemingly as dominating in personality as he is on the ice, he approves when the kid returns with a pair of CCM U + Crazy Light Skates, which Ovechkin directed him to purchase in order to improve his hockey game to win them both the championship.
