Washington Capitals forward and captain Alexander Ovechkin believes that cyber hockey plays an important role in popularizing the sport.
The OviCyberCup esports tournament takes place in Moscow on Saturday.
— Cyber hockey is less popular than football or shooting games. All this is done to popularize this sport, so that people come to practice in the streets, in sports schools for children, all for fun.
Sometimes we play in the NHL, but I played too much as a kid, now I like other people. Can games help hockey players with tactics? Everything is possible. You can be a manager or a trainer, you have to try. Preparation for the OviCyberCup tournament – joystick, four buttons, everything is fine.
We got the Ovi Cup, blogger Buster was supposed to be the goalkeeper, but for some reason he couldn’t. Everything was on the ointment, but broken. Well done for coming now, for taking the initiative,” Ovechkin told reporters.
