Capitals’ email snafu causes Alex Ovechkin retirement drama
NY Post
Don’t call it the farewell tour — yet.
The Washington Capitals put out an Alex Ovechkin retirement fire Thursday after “an email was sent from an individual with the corporate sales department that mistakenly alluded to next year” being the captain’s final season.
“No decision has been made on Alex Ovechkin’s future following the 2025-26 NHL season,” the Capitals said in a message on X.
Speculation about Ovechkin’s possible swan song percolated earlier in the day after it was reported emails had been sent to season ticket holders informing them the upcoming NHL season would be the 39-year-old winger’s last.
The email read, “OCTOBER – the start of Capitals hockey and Alex Ovechkin’s FINAL NHL SEASON,” according to The Hockey Writers.
Ovechkin is coming off a record-smashing season, breaking Wayne Gretzky’s all-time NHL goals mark in April.
