The start of Sergei Bobrovsky and Olga Dorokova’s relationship was challenging, as Dorokova was prohibited from coming to the United States. In an Instagram Q&A (via Current Affairs), she noted she was nearly broke, unmarried, and had no financial security in her hometown. Because of her travel limitations, Bobrovsky would meet Dorokova in Canada and in places where the Philadelphia Flyers played. In a 2011 interview with Puck Daddy’s Dmitry Chesnokov (via Yahoo), Bobrovsky explained, “She was never approved for a U.S. visa. People at the U.S. embassy thought that we did not have any relationship.”

Bobrovsky and Dorokova have maintained a low profile with their romance. In fact, they initially kept news of their marriage under wraps. Bobrovsky said, “We plan to have a big wedding reception next year where there will be a lot of friends. And right now we just couldn’t get everything organized on time.” With pre-season training, the timing wasn’t quite right to host a larger ceremony. He added, “There were just our parents at the registry office with us.” Bobrovsky also shared that before he and Dorokova officially tied the knot, they enjoyed a honeymoon in the Greek islands.
