Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby have quite the history with one another, but even a fated reunion between two old rivals was outdone by an adorable up-and-coming hockey star.
On Friday, during the 2023 NHL All-Star Skills Competition, Ovechkin and Crosby competed together during the breakaway challenge, much to the enjoyment of hockey fans everywhere. That wasn’t all, however, as Ovechkin brought out his four-year-old son — Sergei Ovechkin — to help the pair along.
The three then skated down the ice together on a 3-on-0 before Ovi Jr. put the puck in between the legs of Roberto Luongo for the adorable finish.

Now that’s how it’s done! What a moment for father and son, and props to Crosby for his part in making the goal special as well. Don’t worry guys, the 2036 NHL Draft class will be here before we know it.
