“Everyone in the locker room knew what happened. Alex messaged us with the news. It’s very sad. We’re sorry for him and his family.

I heard different stories about his father. I wasn’t there when her dad was around. But I know stories of how he loved being at the base, being with the team and the players.

Mikhail Ovechkin has died: how will his father’s death affect Alexander’s game?

There is always a special relationship with a father. It is he who introduces you to the sport when you are still a child. It’s a special connection. Of course, now is a difficult and sad day. Ovechkin will have our full support,” Lavioletta told RMNB.
