Alexander Ovechkin

Some people don't like telling about personal life. I don't like it, either, but you want to tell the fans where I'm growing up, how I did it, who supports me - see my house, my family. It's nice.

The growth of the KHL is a very important aspect for the development of Russian sports.

Russians are sincere, understanding and cook well.

To be honest, I don't remember what happened in '95, '96 and '97. It was hard years. My memory is deleting.

Every time when the season starts you have a goal, right? To reach the playoffs. You reach the playoffs, and then the next step is to win the Cup.

My parents did a great job.

To me, I feel like your accomplishments have been recognized when you make the cover of a videogame.

I believe sport brings people together and allows them to feel united for a common goal.

It was always the goal to score as many goals as I can. But every year is harder and harder.

The most important thing for us is winning the Stanley Cup and I want to win.

It's only first place in NHL. Nobody remembers who's second place. Everyone remembers the winner.

If you train 12 months a year, you won't have any strength for the important games.
