Athletistic / Hockey. Washington Capitals captain and forward Alexander Ovechkin shared his opinion on the play of his compatriot and teammate Ivan Miroshnichenko. The 20-year-old Russian is starting his first season in North America.
“Miroshnichenko is learning a lot. He uses the same clubs as me, which is good. Ivan is starting to talk to the guys, asking them questions. It’s definitely still difficult for him, but sometimes he needs to free himself from the tension. Many years “My English was terrible and I asked difficult questions, but it was still a fun time. I’m pretty sure he’ll remember all this for years to come,” Ovechkin told Hockey News.
Ivan Miroshnichenko took part in 12 games of the NHL regular season and scored 4 (2+2) points in the “goal+ass” system with an overall utility coefficient of “-2”.
In the spring of 2022, Ivan Miroshnichenko underwent chemotherapy to fight cancer. Two years ago, a young Russian man was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, a malignant disease of lymphoid tissue. In the summer of 2022, it became known that Miroshnichenko had managed to beat cancer and was allowed to train with Omsk Avangard, his local team.
