from Dmitry Chesnokov of PuckDaddy,
Believe it or not, but from July 1 Alex Ovechkin is employed by UHC Dynamo and even gets paid for his services.
Mikhail Tyurkin, UHC Dynamo’s President, told Sovetsky Sport, “Alex has already called me. He is now my official advisor. He is now employed by UHC Dynamo.
July 1 was the official date Ovechkin became a team employee. “Alex will work on promoting our club. And he will also work with children from our hockey school. He will hold a few master-classes. I think that famous people like Ovechkin should bring value not only to NHL teams, but to Russia as well, especially to the club that brought him up,” Tyurkin said.

Kukla’s Korner is always a free service for readers, but it costs some money to maintain. If you’re ever in a position to donate a few dollars to help out, we’d be very appreciative.
Now he can squeeze the NHL a bit about allowing him to participate in the next Olympics in Sochy. It does look like a conflict of interest though. It would be like Joe Namath getting a job with the Green Bay Packers back in the old AFL/NFL days.
