Alex Ovechkin has been signing a lot of autographs behind the scenes for his Capitals teammates and other NHL stars: 'There's always something waiting in his stall'

"I asked for a jersey, and he signed it. It's going to be with me forever. Everyone does it. You come to the practice rink, there's probably five to ten Ovi jerseys sitting in everyone's stalls."

"He's very generous with this stuff. At the end of every year, he's giving away sticks to guys and things like that. There's always something waiting in his stall for guys on other teams."

"I don't think I've ever asked O for an autograph. He's given me a few things over my career that I obviously cherish. But I won't start now. I mean, his friendship is the most important thing to me and his leadership."

Alex Ovechkin continues to sign memorabilia for his Washington Capitals teammates and opponents, reflecting his generosity. Young players like Ilya Protas cherish signed jerseys, while teammates report multiple Ovechkin jerseys in their stalls. Ovechkin frequently gives away sticks and other items, demonstrating his care for everyone. Dylan Strome notes that Ovechkin provides items to players from other teams as well. Tom Wilson, despite being a longtime teammate, feels awkward asking for autographs, valuing their friendship and leadership more than memorabilia.
