Coach Emma Porter said that the mothers of the skaters fainted at the sight of Ovechkin
Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin visited the High School of Figure Skating in Washington. The visit, which took place on January 7, was told by the head coach of the educational institution Emma Porter, whose words are given on the website of the US Figure Skating Federation.
“We were getting ready to shoot our team maneuvers for the upcoming virtual competition. So there was already a lot going on, but there was still a lot of noise. But Ovechkin came in and a lot of moms fainted,” she shared. Porter noted that those present felt special when they saw the Russian and took it as a good sign.
Earlier, the Czech striker “Boston Bruins” David Pastrnak was criticized for a photo with Ovechkin taken at the All-Star Game of the National Hockey League (NHL). After receiving negative comments, the player removed the picture with the Russian from the profile.
Ovechkin is the second-best scorer in NHL history. On account of his 812 goals. The backlog from Canadian Wayne Gretzky, leading in the list, is 82 goals.
