Add another item to Alex Ovechkin's list of career accomplishments: he now has his own line of cereal.
The Great 8 has partnered with Giant Food and will release 'Ovi O's on September 17, the same day as his 34th birthday.
The honey-nut cereal will be available in Washington, D.C., Maryland, Virginia and Delaware for a limited time. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Children's Cancer Foundation, Inc. that aims at making sure every child has a healthy future ahead of them.
"Giant Food has been a sponsor of the Washington Capitals for over three years, and like all fans, we have enjoyed the spirit and energy Alex brings to the game and our local community," said Giant Food's interim vice president Ira Kress, told NHL.com. "Teaming together for such a fun and healthy product is a win-win for us all. We are proud to offer a delicious breakfast cereal that will also help fund the important work of the Children's Cancer Foundation."
12.25 oz. boxes will sell for $2.69 each. An augmented reality game will bring the cereal to virtual life using a custom Snapchat filter lens.
