Ovechkin's latest assist: Giving a coat to a man on the street in Edmonton This article is definitely soft news in a way, because it is not a world issue or anything that hits us hard. It is a nice feel good story about a famous hockey player giving a coat to a cold homeless man.

This story in my opinion has enough characteristics of a hard news story to be considered in the middle, because it menti...
