Someday, your children, or even grandchildren, will surely ask: "You remember how Ovechkin played, right?" Sports history is being made before our very eyes. The bearded giant with the gap-toothed smile is rewriting one record after another. Alexander Ovechkin is today the most popular athlete in Russia. And one of the most popular in America.
This year, he broke Wayne Gretzky's seemingly eternal record by scoring his 895th goal. And the legendary Canadian personally witnessed Sasha carve his name into world hockey history.
Now (perhaps forever), Ovechkin's name will be at the top of the NHL's all-time scoring list. The Washington Capitals captain is not only the all-time leading scorer in NHL history, but also a three-time world champion with the Russian national team.
Alexander the Great and his incomparable smile are known far beyond the ice rink. But what is the famous Ovi like without his helmet and skates? How did he take his first steps on the ice, what tragedies did he endure, how did he find love, how does he raise his children, and who is his greatest rival? This is our story. It's about how an ordinary boy from Flotskaya Street in Moscow became a symbol of an entire generation.
Behind the cover of this book are statistics from his performances, predictions for the future, and captivating photographs from the family archive.
This is a story about strength of character, the price of victory, and how a dream can change the world.
