“I hope that I will be able to play at the World Championships and the Olympic Games again. I remember the tournaments where the Russian team won. The Olympic Games left a special impression, even though we did not manage to win any medals. The atmosphere at the training camp and during the matches was simply incredible.
“I would especially like to mention the World Championships in Quebec. The events unfolded in such a way that they could have been the plot of a book or a movie. It was a real holiday for us and our fans,” Ovechkin was quoted as saying by the official FHR website.
