This video has me in tears. I have never commented on KZbin before, but I am a wreck over this one. My wife and I are expecting our first, a little girl in 9 days and she has been confirmed for T21 (Down Syndrome). We have known for months and never considered terminating, but I was devastated that she might not be able to play hockey. Then I found out there was a Special Needs Hockey League and I saw this video on their homepage. This little girl is so awesome and I can only hope my little girl is as upbeat as she is about life. I am still crying as I type this as my emotions finally boiled over on this one. Excellent work Ovie (from a diehard Flyers fan), and keep going Ann!!

I think he's by far one of my top 3 favorite players. I'm not really a capitals fan, more of a blackhawk fan till the day I die but Ovechkin has a ridiculous amount of skill, I love the energy and excitement he brings to the ice, he obviously loves hockey and is passionate about it (his interesting goal celebrations), the fact that he's so happy about every goal he scores like it's his first NHL goal, and he's a good guy on and off the ice. It's good to know that he has young kids looking up to him and that he's he's a good role model too. Too bad hockey is really the only sport where the athletes are like that, I think that in the NFL specifically and other professional leagues the players let the money and fame get to their head. These NHL players couldn't care less about the money, they just love playing the game.

I DARE someone to tell me that OVI is not a CLASS ACT in granting this little darling's wish and going all out to make her have an unforgettable night going to the game and going to eat afterwards was the icing on the cake. OVI you are truly a MAN among men when it comes to not just being one of the greatest players ever in hockey but a CLASS ACT that has a heart as big as all outdoors and something that 95% of not just hockey players but pro athletic players of all major sports tend to disassociate themselves and become above their truest fans especially the children and YOU SIR in my book absolutely one of the greatest HUMAN BEINGS of professional sports and THE GREATEST EVER LEGENDARY future hall of Fame'r and we are SO PROUD that you were instrumental and determined to bring the cup to D.C. and with all your skill and ability made YOUR DREAM come true all the while being a humble TEAM player and not a self centered but totally focused professional athlete that played for his Team, his fans and his community. THANKS A MILLION for being the GREATEST EVER in my sons eyes as well as mine!!! You are a ROLE MODEL for all future athletes in professional sports to follow. Thanks again to the " GREAT 8"

Ovechkin is a really class person for doing this for Ann who is autistic. I too am autistic and suffer from a rare disorder called "Asbergers Syndrome." I can't give you a dictionary definition, but it means I'm incredibly bright and unusually talented, but have thoughts, emotions, moods, and feelings I can't control and can't tolerate. I was born autistic and with mental illness, but I believe in never giving in. There's too much to lose. I've been through it all suicide attempts and the like back in the distant past, but then when I hit rock bottom I pulled myself up and brushed myself off and now I just take things day by day. I believe in love. That emotion and that belief strengthen a person while hate weakens and destroys people. Hockey is the game I love. Hockey players and anyone else who is non apathetic are who I love. Apathy and hate have no place and 182 people who disliked this have no place.
