Alex Ovechkin got a ship for his birthday

“Next year…..” Ovechkin said with a slight pause. “I’m going to be 31,” he said with a chuckle.

So when you’re a multi-millionaire super star hockey player, the toast of an entire country, what could you possibly get for your birthday?

“In Moscow, they give me a ship,” Ovechkin said. “It’s in my country house right now. It’s kind of funny.”

Wait, a real ship?

“A real ship,” Ovechkin said matter of factly.

So, obviously, we have a bazillion questions about the ship. What’s it’s name? How nice is it? How big is it?
