About

I, Alexander Ovechkin, Honored Master of Sport, three-time world champion and Stanley Cup winner, am creating a unique new project — the International Hockey Academy!

With this project I want to achieve one very important goal: to create a place where I can share my experience, skill and knowledge with new generations of talented hockey players in our country

Academy Concept

Built on a complete sports ecosystem

An experienced coaching staff for talented young hockey players

Training

A combination of intense physical work and honing technical skills

Tournaments

Burning passion, swift attacks and a fierce fight to the very last second

Wellness

After intense workloads the body needs to replenish its resources

Rehabilitation

A considered, step-by-step process that helps a player return to the ice safely after an injury

Inside the complex

The Academy’s ice arenas will host international and national hockey events, as well as amateur team tournaments

Centre of attraction

Location and cultural entertainment mission

The Academy complex stands in the large parkland of the Mnevniki floodplain, a promising growth point on the map of Moscow

Cafés and restaurants

On the first and top floors of the main building, with spacious terraces and views of the picturesque park

Park

The complex creates a space for socialising and relaxation, both on its grounds and in the architecture itself

Rooftop ice rink

One of the main attractions will be a unique venue on the roof of the main building: the only ice rink in Moscow at a height of 20 m under the open sky, with an area of 1,400 m²
