Hockey fans now can relive the championship moment T.J. Oshie shared with his dad.
The Washington Capitals winger embraced his father Thursday night following the team’s Stanley Cup-clinching win over the Vegas Golden Knights. The NHL’s video team mic’d up Oshie during the Capitals’ celebrations and shared the spine-tingling moment Sunday as part of a larger package.
Oshie emotionally revealed after the win to a national audience his dad suffers from Alzheimer’s disease, and his memory is starting to deteriorate. Fighting back tears, Oshie told reporters he’s sure this is a day his dad won’t forget.
That moment went viral on the internet, and the one above is what preceded it.
