""I love cereal," the Washington Capitals star told ESPN. "My kids love cereal. Breakfast is the most important meal every day." Ovechkin made sports history last season with the "Gr8Chase," when he broke Wayne Gretzky's NHL career goals record (894) with a total that now stands at 897. That moment is now being commemorated in a way that combines Ovechkin's on-ice achievement and his love of cereal."
"Ovi's Great Crunch, a limited-edition cereal celebrating Ovechkin as the NHL's goal-scoring king, will be exclusively available at Giant Food stores in the Washington, D.C., area. It's billed as a "classic cornflakes-style cereal" featuring Ovechkin in the franchise's "screaming eagle" jersey. The product hits store shelves Friday, priced at $2.99 for a family-size 18-ounce box. There's another important connection to Ovechkin's record chase: A portion of proceeds from cereal sales will support The GR8 Chase for Victory Over Cancer,"
