Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin says getting out on the ice with his son is every athlete’s dream.
The fifth Ovechkin Ovi Cup ended on Saturday. The winner was the CSKA team born in 2011, which defeated SKA-Strelna in the final – 7:2. Third place was taken by Yaroslavl Lokomotiv.
At the Ovi Cup gala match, Ovechkin and his son Sergei played as part of the Legends of Russia against a team of bloggers. Four-year-old Ovechkin Jr. scored two goals.
He is already on skates. You saw that today he scored two goals, gave a few assists. He really likes hockey. He asks me: “When am I going to play?”. And I answer him: “You are still small. How does it feel for me to go out on the ice with my son? This is the dream of every hockey player, athlete. My son loves hockey. And most importantly, I asked him where he preferred it – at the NHL All-Star Game or here at the Ovi Cup Gala Game? He said that there and there. Would you like to repeat the story of Gordie Howe? I’m afraid not, – the correspondent of transmits Ovechkin’s words.
