Alex Ovechkin was hanging out with his dad, Mikhail, and his son, Sergei, in his pool house back at home in Russia.
While Mikhail watched his rambunctious grandson, Ovi shot video of the historic memorabilia he hung up in the room.
Ever since Alex Ovechkin first entered the NHL in 2005, he’s collected sticks from hockey players he’s admired. And for good reason! Ovechkin has two quasi-museums full of hockey collectibles: one in his Northern Virginia home and the other in his Moscow dacha.
But there’s one piece of memorabilia Ovechkin doesn’t have, and it’s driving him crazy: a game-used stick from Wayne Gretzky. Gretzky is widely considered the greatest hockey player of all-time.
During his playing career, Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin has been collecting memorabilia, such as sticks from his favorite players or gear from his milestone moments, in two mini-museums located at his Northern Virginia and Moscow homes.
In 2018, Ovechkin had three historic round-number achievements, tallying 500 assists in January, 1100 points in February, and 600 goals in March.
And over the last month, Ovechkin has received several new exhibition items.
