Alex Ovechkin Reveals When He Will Retire From Professional Hockey
When asked if he believes he will retire after his current contract with the Capitals expires, Ovechkin provided a surprising response.
«I think, yes,» Ovechkin said as translated via Google Translate.
This marks the second occasion this season that Ovechkin has broached the topic of retirement. Earlier in the year, speaking to American media, he emphasized the importance of enjoying the game, indicating that once that enjoyment wanes, it might be time to step away.
With Ovechkin hinting that his current contract could be his last in the NHL, a two-and-a-half-season countdown to retirement has commenced. This timeframe also presents him with an opportunity to surpass Wayne Gretzky's goal-scoring record.
If Ovechkin falls short of breaking the record within this window, it remains to be seen if he will contemplate extending his career.
