Russian forward “Washington Capitals” Alexander Ovechkin spoke about the famous striker Ilya Kovalchuk, who took a break from his career. Transmits words “Match TV”.
“The resumption of Kovalchuk’s career? Again, it all depends on him – whether he wants it or not. I think a person who has accomplished everything in hockey should now enjoy life. If he wants to return, of course, he does not spoil the table, he only gives confidence to the team. It will be great for young actors and fans to come back,” Ovechkin said.
Kovalchuk has currently suspended his professional career and is focusing on his family. He has four children.
Kovalchuk is an Olympic hockey champion and two-time world champion. He made his debut for the national team at the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002. In 2021, as part of the Omsk Avangard, he became a three-time winner of the Gagarin Cup and decided to suspend his activities as a player. At this time, Kovalchuk has not announced his retirement.
