Aleksandr Ovechkin is one of the world’s best hockey players, but fame and fortune can't take Russia's place in his heart. The NHL superstar reveals more about the man on the skates in an exclusive interview with RT.

He speaks about hockey, the things he misses in the US, the food he likes, the closes he wears and the way he likes to relax and have fun.

“I am just an ordinary 23-year-old guy. Like everyone I like to relax and have fun. I like to have parties. It’s just that I got a little bit more lucky then the rest,” he said.
