Former strikerWashington Capitals » Sergei Shumakov said that Russian hockey players teach other players Russian phrases.
— Tell us more about the first team. How does Alexander Ovechkin behave in the locker room?
— There was generally a happy team there. The guys were teaching everyone Russian, I remember the Czech Michal Kempny was speaking. In general, everyone communicated with each other – a good team,” Shumakov told Metaratings.ru.
In September 2018, Washington signed Shumakov to a one-year, two-way contract; he did not play a single game in the NHL.
Russian forwards Alexander Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov, as well as defenseman Alexander Alekseev, play for Washington.
