Star forward Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals has just revealed his team's dirty little secret, that they love drinking beer in the locker room.

When the Washington Capitals won the Stanley Cup in 2018, Alex Ovechkin had the party of a lifetime, and went viral for how he celebrated. Fans across the world would tune in to watch how Ovi was living it up, which was dubbed the "Summer of Ovechkin".

Two months ago, we got to experience Oshie chug beer through his jersey, drunk Vrana and our captain giving the gr8est speech of all time. D.C. came together & celebrated in a fashion that will never be forgotten. Time flies!

Ovechkin has now gone on to expose all of his teammates as well as his coach for a whole new reason.

Blogger Amiran Sardarov, who is also a personal friend of Alex, recently asked him about the rumors swirling that some NHL players drink beer after games. Ovechkin immediately put his team on blast, saying he, along with his entire team, enjoy a few cold beers following the game, and that their coach has a beer fridge right in his office! Ovechkin even called out the players who claim not to drink, saying that's impossible because everyone drinks!

"I don't hide it," Ovechkin said per a sports.ru transcription and a translation by Google Translate. "I like the taste of beer. I like light beer, sometimes I can drink Guinness."

He continued, "I can't imagine a [player] who says he doesn't drink, he quit. You can take a break for a certain time, but after the game, 2 to 3 cans of beer � with pleasure. It's useful. In Washington, we have a refrigerator with beer in the coaching room. It's normal."

Ovechkin was then asked why he loves beer so much, and he explained it in such a perfect way, where no one can blame him.

Regarding the benefits of a post-game drink, Ovechkin said of players, "We just like to relax. After hockey, you are tired, a couple of glasses of wine or beer is normal It relieves tension."
