“Obviously, everyone knows I’m an avid collector of Golf clubs and I have nearly a hundred. After dinner, in 2017, I asked Wayne, “can You give me a game stick? I don’t know you have it still or not.” He said, “Yes. Win the Cup and I’ll give you the stick”. We won the Stanley Cup, and I told our press attaché that I need to stick Gretzky, because he promised it to me. When I finally got the stick, I was happy like a little kid receiving a Christmas gift. She is now in my collection” — quoted Ovechkin RMNB.
The Russian won the Stanley Cup with the Washington capitals in 2018.
Earlier it was reported that Ovechkin will compete with Gretzky in NHL 20.
