Alexander Ovechkin. Illustrated Biography

The chase of Alexander Ovechkin for the NHL scoring record, which belongs to the great Canadian Wayne Gretzky, is arguably the most discussed hockey topic in recent years worldwide. Before the start of the National Hockey League - 2024/25 season, the Russian forward of the Washington Capitals was just 41 goals behind the all-time record. By the time this book was published and you held it in your hands, the distance had become even smaller in Ovechkin's 20th season in the NHL. The author of this book, Igor Rabiner, was a witness to this, having interviewed both the 18-year-old and the 38-year-old Ovi. He also had detailed conversations with the player's parents, wife, and dozens of his teammates, and attended dozens of ice rinks where Alexander the Great scored against opposing teams. E
