Emotional video shows Alex Ovechkin's return to his homeland

Now that the Washington Capitals are eliminated from the NHL playoffs, forward Alex Ovechkin was able to go back to his family in his native country.

This was the first time ever (since the sad events we know all too well) that Ovechkin was back home.

His wife and children attended a Caps game in early April, but it was the last time the number 8 had seen his family.

So you can guess that the reunion was obviously very emotional.
