Very likely. I watched a documentary on Ovechkin, and he really looks up to his mom. The reason for him wearing the #8 is because his mom wore it when she won a gold medal in the Olymics women's Basketball for the Soviets. His mom also EXPECTS him to get a Stanley Cup and Olympic Gold Medal by the end of his hockey career.
Alexander Ovechkin wears the number 8 because his mother, Tatyana Ovechkin, was number 8 on the Russain Olympic team where she won a gold medal.
