Washington has locked in its lineup of promotions covering the coming 2025-26 year, and getting right down to business, this batch carries a handful of real eye-catchers.
A few of the season's noteworthy handouts and special-ticket gifts:
- a pickleball paddle in team branding — 10/25, ticket-deal gift
- a reversible mitt for the oven showing Logan Thompson plus Charlie Lindgren — 11/26, a handout
- a jersey styled after the Grateful Dead — 12/11, ticket-deal gift
- a floss holder honoring Alex Ovechkin — 1/7, a handout
- a bobblehead of Dylan Strome — 1/13, a handout
- a rainbow team jersey, dated 1/17 — ticket-deal gift
- a hat designed by Pierre-Luc Dubois — 2/2, a handout
- an Ovi-Wan-Kenobi figure — 2/5, ticket-deal gift
- a cherry-blossom tumbler in team styling — 3/18, ticket-deal gift
Three items tied to Alex Ovechkin appear during what could prove his last NHL go-round. That Ovi-Wan-Kenobi figure — presumably riffing on a moniker portions of social media handed him — comes as the special-ticket gift tied to the February 5 Star Wars theme against Nashville. The January 31 Margaritaville evening yields a tropical mug bearing his name, also a special-ticket item. Then, when Dallas visits January 7, everyone in attendance leaves with the floss holder carrying his likeness, billed as a way to keep one's smile game strong.
That rainbow Weagle sweater for Pride Night — genuinely excellent and well worth snagging — shows up as a special-ticket gift dated January 17.
