Alexander Ovechkin, born on September 17, 1985, is one of the greatest ice hockey players in the world, currently playing for the Washington Capitals in the National Hockey League (NHL). Among his many accomplishments are nine Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophies for leading the league in goals, and being named one of the 100 Greatest NHL Players in history. As of now, he has scored 895 goals in his NHL career (NHL Records). We, Alexander Ovechkin's fans and Howard Bison ice hockey fans, believe that he has a great chance to reach an astonishing milestone of 1000 career goals, a feat that has never been achieved in the history of the NHL. Scoring 1000 goals would not only solidify Ovechkin's place in ice hockey history, but it would also elevate the sport's profile, igniting new interest and attracting new fans, nationally and internationally. Therefore, we ask the management and decision-makers of the Washington Capitals, NHL and the Players Association to extend Alexander Ovechkin's contract until he reaches this incredible milestone of 1000 goals. Let's make history together. Sign this petition to keep Ovechkin with the Capitals until he scores 1000 goals.
