During the off-season, Alex Ovechkin sat down for an interview with friend and Russian journalist Amiran Sardarov. Ovi discussed the Caps beer fridge, retirement plans, his kids’ love of hockey, playing in the Olympics and more.
Capitals’ coaching room beer fridge
“I can’t imagine a [hockey player] who says he doesn’t drink…You can take a break for a certain time, but after the game 2-3 cans of beer – with pleasure…We have a fridge with beer in the coaching room in Washington. It’s normal,” Ovechkin said, translated via Apple Translate.
Ovi didn’t mention where in the arena the beer fridge was, other than to say it’s in the coaching room.
