Alex Ovechkin now owns a special piece of international hockey history, two artifacts from an NHL legend’s history that will forever remind him of his own place among the all-time greats. Adler Display is proud to have played a role in this celebration.
It is a fitting gift for a player who enjoys collecting goals as much as he does hockey sticks.
The National Hockey League Players Association (NHLPA) enlisted Adler Display for this project because they were aware that Adler Display produced the Washington Capitals 2018 Stanley Cup Display, Hat Trick exhibit, Sticks of the Caps displays, and several other displays.
“It was an honor to partner with the NHLPA on the design and production of this display to recognize Alex Ovechkin, ‘The Great 8′”, said Jeff Bank of Adler Display.
“It was a great experience working with your team, hope to have another opportunity to do so down the road,” said Martin McQuaig, Senior Manager, NHLPA.
Earlier this season, Ovechkin overtook NHL icon Gordie Howe’s record for most career goals with a single franchise (787) and soon afterward passed Howe for second in all-time regular season NHL goals (802). On Tuesday, during the Washington Capitals’ pre-game ceremony honoring Ovechkin’s achievements, Tom Wilson (Capitals teammate), Boone Jenner (Columbus Blue Jackets captain), and Ron Hainsey (NHLPA Assistant to the Executive Director) presented Ovechkin with a unique set of items acquired directly from the Howe family on behalf of all NHLPA members.
