Re: Fic Discussion - aparecium by oops_ohdear
From: (Anonymous)At least a few other high-level Russian hockey players/Russian athletes have degrees (I think from the same school as Ovi, though not advanced ones). Kuznetsov is one for sure. I think it's possible that they value having a degree more than most North American players.
I think you could make a case for Ravenclaw for especially cerebral players -- ones known to spend a lot of time studying other hockey players, for example. Though like most of these things, if you're in the NHL, you probably have the ability to learn/study hockey, ambition, a strong work ethic, and courage (or at least the willingness to take a beating), etc.
Re: Fic Discussion - aparecium by oops_ohdear
From: (Anonymous)Yeah, the particular school Ovi did his degree at has a lot of famous Russian athletes who did degrees there, although I'd think most of them are probably undergrad -- Kovalchuk, Kharlamov, Morozov, Pavel Bure, Irina Slutskaya, Maria Butyrskaya, Gordeeva and Grinkov... I'd imagine it's at least partially a cultural thing.
