Fatima Al Ali, a member of the United Arab Emirates women’s national hockey team, has mad stick-handling skills and a shy personality.

Both were on display this week as the Washington Capitals, and Emirates  airlines, brought her to the Nation’s Capital to meet All-Star forward Alex Ovechkin and to drop the puck at the start of the Caps’ 6-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings Thursday night.

Ali called her time this week  practicing with the Capitals’ and watching them play at Washington’s Verizon Center against the Carolina Hurricanes and Red Wings a dream come true.

After she dropped the puck at Thursday night’s game, Ali showed off another slick move, whipping out her phone and taking a selfie at center ice with Ovechkin and Wings forward Henrik Zetterberg.
