Nigerian-American, born in Silver Spring to parents who moved from Lagos in the early 90s. Her parents were bewildered by hockey; Nadia discovered it through friends in Montgomery County and converted her entire family via the Ovechkin effect. She was in the building at Capital One Arena the night the Caps won the 2018 Stanley Cup and called her father sobbing. He has had Capitals season tickets since 2019 — she takes full credit. Studied communications at American University, covered Caps for the Washington Post for five years.
Fan Perspective
Converted-by-Ovi, kept-by-love — she came to this team through the most charismatic player in the sport's modern era and she now defends the franchise with the intensity of a lifelong fan. The 2018 Cup is a permanent emotional anchor.
