Childhood and youth


The hockey player was born into a family of professional athletes in Moscow on September 17, 1985. He is Virgo by his zodiac sign, Russian by nationality.

The parents did not want Sasha to be fond of such unsafe sports, moreover, the boy had to stop exercising, since his relatives could not take him to training.

The coach helped Alexander to return to his vocation, who was convinced that Ovechkin was a born hockey player, and persuaded his parents not to miss such prospects. Also, the support of his brother Sergei played a significant role in achieving the current success in the guy's life. When Sasha was 10 years old, Sergei died in an accident. The boy was very upset by the death of his brother.

The athlete only once raised this topic in an interview. According to him, the next day after the terrible event, his parents brought him to training. For a long time, the guy went out on the ice with tears, but he realized that he was obliged to train in order to become a support for his relatives in the future.

Already in childhood, Alexander Ovechkin was distinguished by a strong-willed character and a desire to win. Thanks to these qualities, he was invited to Dynamo (a Moscow hockey school). This club was the first step towards a professional career.

Personal life


Due to the active sports life and constant employment of Alexander, for a long time there was no talk of creating a family. The hockey player tried not to advertise his personal life, although the press often attributed to him novels with Russian and world celebrities.

There were rumors about the athlete's relationship with Zhanna Friske, Victoria Lopyreva, the lead singer of the Black Eyed Peas group Fergie and many other celebrities.

The hockey player himself claimed that he would make an offer only to a girl from his native Russia, and did not break his word. He soon began dating Russian tennis player Maria Kirilenko. The couple admitted to a serious relationship and announced their engagement on December 31, 2012.

However, the marriage never took place. In the summer of 2014, Maria broke off the engagement. The girl told the press that they parted with Alexander calmly and she continues to respect him as a person.

Soon, Alexander Ovechkin appeared in public with a new lover - model Anastasia Shubskaya, daughter of the popular actress Vera Glagoleva. The age difference between them was 8 years. The hockey player made his beloved a marriage proposal a year after the previous separation. The lovers themselves posted a photo of Anastasia with a wedding ring on social networks, Twitter and Instagram.

Anastasia followed the hockey player everywhere. Soon the girl moved to his house in America. Despite Shubskaya's social life, the couple abandoned a luxurious wedding, limiting themselves to painting, and the newly-made wife simply changed her last name on social networks.

However, a solemn ceremony and a banquet for friends and relatives still took place, however, a year after the official wedding - on July 8, 2017.

The athlete's hobby is also associated with hockey - Ovechkin collects clubs autographed by famous hockey players. Well, what Russian does not like driving fast. Everyone will envy his fleet. In Moscow, he drives a snow-white BMW M6.

Ovechkin has a Mercedes SL 65 AMG Black Series, it is noteworthy that there are only 350 such cars in the world. The sportsman loves to ride with the breeze in the Porsche Cayenne GTS.

Therefore, fans were surprised with what zeal Ovechkin tried to get the prize car at the NHL All-Star Game. As a result, he got the Honda Accord, after which he announced that he was donating it to a children's hockey school in Virginia.

By the way, Ovechkin had done charity work before, but he tried not to make it public, and in 2015 his "secret" was revealed. It turned out that for many years he has been financially helping several orphanages in Russia.

Today the hockey player and his wife live in the United States, in 2012 he bought a house in McLean, Virginia, for $ 4.2 million. The mansion is 11 thousand square meters. m: 5 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, library, recreation room.

On August 18, 2018, Anastasia gave birth to a son. The couple named the baby Sergei in honor of his brother Alexander Ovechkin. His parents kept his name a secret for a long time and revealed only after the sacrament of baptism was performed. At the same time, his pictures began to appear on the page of the child's mother.

Before the birth of the baby, Shubskaya announced that she was planning to give birth in America. This decision is due to the fact that at the time in which the girl was given birth, Alexander had to be in the country. And the main thing for her is that on this day her husband is there. The kid automatically received US and Russian citizenship.

Alexander decided to instill in his son a love of sports from an early age. In September 2019, his wife and child attended a hockey training session in which Ovechkin participated. In February 2020, Anastasia posted a photo on Instagram, which clearly showed her rounded belly. Fans of the couple expected an early replenishment in the Ovechkin family.

Now the hockey player calls his cherished dream to play in one troika with his son. Ovechkin calls the pre-season tournament for children "Ovi Cup", which takes place in the Moscow region, as an option for simultaneous entry onto the ice.

Hockey


A distinctive feature of Ovechkin was and is an unsurpassed game, because a hockey player from the first steps of his sports path always left the rink with a goal. In the 2004/2005 season alone, he scored 23 points, received a gold medal and was named the best left-handed striker.

Alexander never gave up, even despite a shoulder injury, he played his last games at Dynamo club with dignity, gaining even more points than in the previous season. The Russian hockey player has received worldwide recognition, confirmed by international awards - silver in the Youth Championship and bronze in an adult match.

Such an unusually talented athlete was noticed by foreign clubs. His professionalism on the ice is undeniable. At the same time, a hockey player has an average height for his kind of sport of 190 cm and a weight of 104 kg.

In 2004, the guy was invited to the NHL club "Washington Capitals" left wing, which he still is.

However, even before the hockey player moved abroad, representatives of Omsk "Avangard" made an offer to him, luring the young star with a tidy sum of fees. Due to the fact that Ovechkin left Dynamo, a scandal arose, the case even went to trial, but the dispute was nevertheless settled peacefully.

One way or another, Alexander left the country and flew to play overseas. Ovechkin was offered the maximum possible salary for a newcomer: for the season, taking into account the bonuses, this amount was $ 3.85 million. His debut in the NHL took place on October 5, 2005 in a match with the Columbus Blue Jackets, in which he scored a double and helped the team win.

Moving to another country at the age of 19 was not easy for Alexander. The guy did not speak English well. At first, Ovechkin lived in a hotel near the Veraison Center stadium, where training took place. The Russian spent several days in the family of the general manager of the club, George McPhee.

In the Washington Capitals, the hockey player started playing at number 8. He chose this number because his mother played with this number.

In 2005, the young hockey player received the official nickname Alexander the Great. In his debut season, the Russian rookie made 44 assists and 48 goals, which earned this nickname. The nickname was chosen by fans from several options approved by Ovechkin. Most of them, in one way or another, played up the Russian origin of the hockey player and the number 8 - his number in the team.

A certain fan, Dylan, suggested recording the nickname chosen by the vote as Alexander The GR8, for which he received gratitude from Sasha and a set of hockey equipment. Later, Alexander also had two more nicknames - Ovi and the Great Eight.

As Ovechkin later mentioned in an interview, he assigns a big role in the development of his career to luck. He was lucky to be at the Washington Club at the time of the rebuilding.

It was the Russians who decided to make the face of the club and selected those players who helped the athlete to grow as a player into the team. Alexander did not try to change his playing style for the sake of cooperation with the new club, but he carefully studied the mentality, work ethic inherent in the team.

Around the same time, another promising hockey player, Sidney Crosby, came to the NHL, who became the main rival of the Russian in the fight for the honorary title of the best rookie of the year.

Despite a strong opponent, Ovechkin confidently walked towards victory and surpassed the expectations of even those who already believed in him. Thanks to this zeal, the hockey player scored 106 points, for which he was awarded the Calder Trophy. So Ovechkin became the undisputed leader, defeating Sidney Crosby in an enchanting rivalry.

In every season, Alexander easily scored puck after puck, justifying the unspoken title of the most expensive player in the NHL (the contract concluded with the athlete for 13 years cost the club $ 124 million).

Ovechkin also repeatedly became world champion, playing for the Russian national team. In 2003 he won the World Youth Championship, and in 2005 he became a silver medalist.

Since 2005, the athlete began to play for the senior national team. As a result, he became the winner of the World Cup three times - in 2008, 2012 and 2014.

In 2006, Ovechkin participated in the Olympic Games for the first time in his career. In Turin, Alexander managed to score 5 goals, including the winning goal in the quarterfinal match against the Canadian national team. The Russian team took 4th place at the Olympics. But as a result of the games, Ovechkin became the only Russian hockey player who was included in the symbolic team.

But the most anticipated and controversial event was the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Ovechkin, being a member of the Russian national team, claimed that the team was perfectly prepared for matches and had no rivals, so they would certainly win.

However, the participation of Alexander Ovechkin himself in the Olympics was a big question. First, the hockey player was injured in a game with the New York Rangers. Some doubted whether Alexander Ovechkin would come out on the ice, and if he did, how successfully he would play. Secondly, legal difficulties arose: the NHL did not immediately agree to let its players go to Sochi.

Although the hockey player has repeatedly proved that he is always ready to fight to the end and will not let his team down, this time a miracle did not happen. In the quarterfinals, Russia lost to Finland with a score of 3: 1. The forward admitted that the opponent was stronger, and the Russian team, although it was eager to win, made two serious mistakes.

The possible involvement of NHL league players in the 2018 Olympics has also generated a lot of discussion. There are rumors that the NHL leadership is against the participation of the best players in competitions in Korea. While there was no official confirmation from league commissioner Gehry Bethman, the information seemed reasonable.

The NHL, as a regular and commercial season, sees no benefit in losing players for weeks and getting tired and possibly injured. Alexander Ovechkin made a loud statement against this decision. The athlete assured the press that not only he, but all Russian hockey players will quit the NHL to join the national team in Korea.

These words rocked the sports world. The hockey player was also supported by the owner of the Washington club Ted Leonsis, who promised to release Ovechkin, even if the NHL tournament is not suspended.

As a result, Alexander Ovechkin failed to participate in the Olympic Games in Pyeongchang. NHL said "the last word" and did not let go of the hockey players. The hockey player did not fulfill his promise, but he spoke from the heart, not knowing all the legal nuances. One way or another, the Russian hockey team, declared under the name of Olympic athletes from Russia (OCP), won gold medals in Pyeongchang.

Today Alexander is the highest paid Russian hockey player. Ovechkin's salary is made up not only of sports activities, but also of advertising. He became the face of Nike sportswear, Bauer hockey outfit, Gatorade powerhouse and EA Games hockey simulator.

There are many fights on the ice in the career of the legendary hockey player. In 2017, in an NHL match between Washington and Columbus, Ovechkin held a power hold against hockey player Zach Warenski, as a result of which he suffered a serious facial injury and left the game.

This incident provoked a massive fight on the field, in which all hockey players participated. During the "ice battle" Alexander smashed the face of the Canadian striker "Columbus". For this, the athlete was disqualified.

It is known that Ovechkin walks without a front tooth. According to the hockey player, he does not plan to insert it until the end of his career, as he is afraid of losing it again. Some believe that Ovechkin does not do this on purpose, since this is his "trick". And even a person who is far from hockey knows him as a "hockey player without a tooth." By the way, in Madame Tussauds, a statue of a forward stands next to Schwarzenegger (and without a tooth).

2018 was truly a happy year for the athlete. In June, Ovechkin brought Washington the first Stanley Cup ever. In other words, he became a legend and the best sportsman of the year. For a hockey player's personal sports biography, this is a landmark victory.

The final draw of the playoffs was victorious for the team, in which the opponent was the Vegas Golden Knights. Both teams have never won this award. Washington managed to win three out of five matches. Ovechkin considers the last game to be a historic match for his club.

In the summer, the hockey player visited Russia with an award. First, he visited the World Cup fan zone where football fans gathered. Then he went to Novogorsk, to the base of the Dynamo club. Here, young students of the organization could take pictures with the Stanley Cup.

At the beginning of 2019, the scorer, along with team members, entered the Hockey Hall of Fame. Ovechkin presented the Stanley Cup winner's ring to the museum.

In the competition against the New York Rangers, which took place in October 2019, Alexander again distinguished himself by using spectacular power techniques. And at the end of the match he provoked a fight at all, in which Tom Wilson and Brendan Lemieux also became participants.

A distinctive feature of Ovechkin's technique is considered to be his ability to make an unexpected click from the left face-off circle. Not a single washer released in this way has yet been reflected. Alexander himself does not reveal his secret.

Alexander Ovechkin now


In January 2020, Ovechkin surprised his fans again with another hat-trick against the New York Islanders. Three goals allowed the hockey player to take the honorable 9th place in the ranking of the top 10 most productive players in the NHL. At the moment, judging by the website of the National League, Alexander remains the only active hockey player from this list.

He plans to break the record of the NHL sniper Wayne Gretzky - 894 goals. Ovechkin is rapidly approaching his goal: he has already 8 seasons with 50 goals, while his legendary predecessor had 9. But the athlete does not dwell on statistics, according to him, if he feels that he is pulling the team back, he will leave the sport ...

In February 2020, Ovechkin participated in an auction at which he put up for sale his sweater in memory of the NBA champion Kobe Bryant who died in a plane crash. The proceeds - $ 9,150 - were transferred to the Kobe & Vanessa Bryant Family Foundation to help the family of the untimely deceased athlete.

The Washington scorer had previously honored his friend's memory by wearing a jersey with the number 24 for the warm-up before the NHL regular season match. Kobe Bryant was this number.
