The athlete said that each player on the team received $400 thousand on the card. “Everyone went to the bank. 400 grand for winning the World Championship, to which the Canadians brought the 18th team. To each. Dollars Cash,” he said. According to 28-year-old Zadorov, Alexander Ovechkin also received a Mercedes.
