The newly-crowned world champion Alexandr Ovechkin has been named Russia's NHL player of the season. He added another trophy to his already impressive collection.

There's probably never been a more deserving recipient of the trophy. Alexandr the Gr8 has done everything this season to secure the accolade.

The Washington Capitals left winger top the scoring charts this season, setting a new record for a winger and landing a record-breaking contract along the way.

It seems the only trophy he's yet to lift is the Stanley Cup.
