Alex Ovechkin gets his road trip Subway sandwich personally delivered and always has a six-pack of beer waiting for him on the team plane

"When he leaves the arena, he texts him. He passes by, he doesn't get out of the car. The guy comes to the car, he comes to give (him the sandwich). I'm not even kidding. It's crazy, because he doesn't want to go back to Subway and be recognized by everyone."

"And when he gets on the plane, anywhere, he's on the road, there's always a six-pack (of beer) waiting on his table. A six-pack of Prague beers. Czech Pilsner. It's always waiting."

"I was in charge of getting him his adult beverages on the bus, and that was one of my roles that I found to stay on the team, basically,"

Alex Ovechkin orders the same Subway meal before road trips: a foot‑long spicy Italian with Flamin' Hot Cheetos. He provided a Subway employee his phone number so the sandwich can be text‑ordered and delivered to his car outside arenas to avoid being recognized. A six‑pack of Czech Pilsner or Prague beers routinely waits on his plane table during travel. The Subway Instagram account nicknamed him "The Great Ate." Nicolas Aube‑Kubel played for the Capitals in 2022‑23 and 2023‑24 and now plays for the Minnesota Wild; he won the Stanley Cup with Colorado in 2022. Former Capitals defenseman Matt Irwin handled Ovechkin's beers on the team bus.
