The legendary Russian hockey player Alexander Mogilny shared how he learned about his induction into the Hall of Fame.

**”When Lanny McDonald (the head of the Hall of Fame) called you, did you immediately realize what it was about?”**
— They don’t just call for no reason. Why would they be calling me? Especially at three in the morning! Well, they didn’t know where I was. At home. Sleeping (smiles). When they called, it was already pretty clear, — Mogilny told Championship correspondent Vladimir Laevsky in an exclusive interview.

Alexander Mogilny is the 1988 Olympic champion, the 1989 World Champion, and the 2000 Stanley Cup winner. He is also a member of the “Triple Gold Club.” In 1992, Mogilny became the first Russian player invited to the NHL All-Star Game. During the 1992-1993 season, he was the first Russian to finish as the league’s top scorer with 76 goals.
