Sergie Ovechkin, son of Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin, was adorably captured on camera skating at the MedStar Capitals Iceplex practice facility center on Thursday.
Sergie's father, Alexander Ovechkin, and grandmother, Tatyana Ovechkina, were present at the practice facility center to watch the young Sergie skate. The video was captured by Sergie's mother Nastasiya Ovechkin.
Here's an adorable video of Sergie skating:
Sergie can be seen in the video skating a lap while following the instructions of the instructor who is assisting him in skating properly. As Sergie skates, Ovi can be seen laughing with his mother Tatyana, who is closely watching her grandson. At one point, Sergie did fall on the ice while skating. However, he quickly stood up on his feet and started to skate again.
Sergie and his father can be seen walking to the vending machine in the following video slide. Sergie's skating video is indeed an adorable thing to watch.
Tatyana Ovechkina, Alexander Ovechkin's mother, has returned to America following the death of her husband Mikhail last month. She was also seen at a couple of her son's recent games, including one against the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday, when Ovechkin scored his 37th goal of the season for the Washington Capitals.
