[edit] Trivia

  • He was the first player to win two Pro Tours.
  • Following Hovi's induction into the Pro Tour Hall of Fame, Mark Rosewater said that one of his fondest memories of Hovi was from an ill-fated interview conducted by Rosewater. The highly-talkative Rosewater asked several questions, to which the shy Hovi would only reply with one or two-word answers. Rosewater kept talking, trying to make the questions harder to answer succinctly but the interview ended after about a minute with Rosewater calling it off in a fit of laughter.
