Alex Ovechkin tied Jaromir Jagr (766) for third place on the NHL’s all-time goals list Tuesday after scoring twice against the Calgary Flames. Ovi’s big night left him trailing Hockey Hall of Fame legends Gordie Howe (801) and Wayne Gretzky (894).
The goals not only had ramifications for the goals list, but Ovechkin merch itself. RMNB is told that moving forward Ovi’s pursuit of Gretzky’s record will be called The Gr8 Chase on sports memorabilia. Wednesday, Shop.NHL.com released the first item with the new trademarked tagline to celebrate Ovechkin reaching third.
The shirt is currently available on shop.nhl.com.
The filing for The GR8 Chase was first made by Great 8 LLC on September 17, 2021. The phrase could land on these items in the future.
