A hockey player “Ak Barsa” Dmitry Yashkin in an interview with he told how in 2021 he spent a joint vacation in Turkey with the captain “Washington” Alexander Ovechkin .
“Why do you always go to rest in Türkiye?”
– Well, where is all the time? We haven’t been there much before. We went to Turkey for the first time with Sasha Ovechkin. And now we decided to go to Bodrum, and we really liked it.
I don’t know if it’s a tradition, but I constantly went to Croatia – to a resort higher than Dubrovnik. Maybe I will visit Turkey more often. Bodrum left a very good impression. By nature, it is close to Croatia, and it was nice to rest there.
– A typical evening at a resort in Turkey with Ovechkin – how are you going to spend it?
– It depends on the circumstances. When we came last time, the European football championship was taking place. Very often, we watched matches, and the women were not very happy. And at the end of the trip, we usually only watched football.
Well, I don’t know, we have a lot to talk about, to play cards. We used to find children’s games in the hotel, and they had fun. After all, someone came with children,” Yashkin told .
Last season with SKA, Yashkin scored 62 (40+22) points in 67 games, adding 7 (5+2) points in 14 playoff games. At the KHL season-closing ceremony, Dmitry was recognized as the league’s most valuable player. On June 7, the striker signed a three-year contract with Ak Bars.
