“In the United States, the fan culture is different… In other words, they come with their families, buy Coca-Cola, beer, everyone sits down, enjoys and gets sick… In Russia, you come, you have a fan sector. … This does not exist here. Of course, there is Messi in football when he plays, they stand behind the goal, there are drums. In hockey, this does not exist.
Ovechkin Named His Favorite Football Player
Here, if you look, there are drums and scarves everywhere. In the USA – T-shirts, caps, a glass of beer, maybe whiskey, for children popcorn, Coca-Cola and juice. So they sit down and everyone enjoys hockey during the match, “Ovechkin said on the YouTube channel “Khach’s Diary”.
Last season in the NHL, Ovechkin, 38, played 79 regular-season games, scoring 31 goals and adding 34 assists.
