Alex Ovechkin: Great hockey player, better human being.
A report surfaced Friday that Ovechkin gave his winter jacket and hat to a homeless man he passed by outside an Edmonton cafe.
As it turns out, the Washington Capitals superstar saw the homeless man nearly half naked, then went to a store and bought him a sweater, coat, and hat.
Ovechkin downplayed his kind gesture when talking to reporters.
The world could certainly use more Alex Ovechkins.
