Nate Wessel's Wish Comes True

From not being sure if he'd ever be able to play sports when he was born to this month signing a contract with the Capitals and skating with Alex Ovechkin, we look back at a truly inspirational experience for both the team and Nate from Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic.

Know it's a long stretch, but would love to see this kid in a Caps sweater. Poetic.

[@Bardonwski]

That’s amazing😊

[@Michaelmyers21235]

That’s why I love the caps

[@utah9112]

That’s my dream. Glad he got to have this experience, he’ll no doubt hold on to it for the rest of his life 👍🏼

[@graysonweidner2273]

This is why I rock the red

[@waynethera2712]

Well done Caps! It’s been a tough season, but good news comes from many places.

Feeling like crap, so, as I always do...I type in make a wish to make me have more faith in humanity....works every time and humbles me at the same time. I love make a wish.

Хреново только что наши дети не могут побывать на тренировке с Ови, получить из его рук клюшку, сфотографироваться and so on

[@ceantang5303]

@@steduv I always assumed that he'll finish his career in Russia. Jagr is old af and still plays. maybe Ovie will finish in khl and they'll do stuff like that in Russia.

@@steduv Саша пока играет в НХЛ и нашим детям проблематично туда попасть. А вот почему в нашей лиге не делают что то подобное мне не понятно. Надеюсь КХЛ со временем к этому придет
