Alexander Ovechkin, Russian captain of the National Hockey League (NHL) Washington Capitals club, said he hid a large collection of memorabilia from his matches in the basement.
“It’s all in my home gym now. My basement is almost full of T-shirts. Nastya doesn’t like it because whenever I bring gloves or a helmet, “When will you get rid of this?” The Athletic reporter Tariq El-Bashir quotes Ovechkin’s words on a social network.
Ovechkin has made 25 appearances on the ice in the NHL this season, scoring 13 goals and providing 12 assists.
The Russian forward goes after the greatest NHL sniper of all time, Wayne Gretzky. Now 37-year-old Ovechkin has 793 abandoned goals. Gordie Howe is eight goals behind the second best goalscorer in the NHL. Wayne Gretzky holds the NHL record with 894 goals.
