Putin, sporting a red jersey with blue trim and the number 11
on his back, led a team of officials, businessmen and former
players to a 9-5 victory over an amateur selection in the annual
Night Hockey League festival game, the Kremlin said.
The 63-year-old sports fan was seen fist-bumping team mates,
waving to the crowd and firing shots at the opposition goalie.
He was then handed a large trophy by former Soviet Union player
Alexander Yakushev.
A judo black belt, Putin has often shown off his sporting
prowess and has previously been seen on television playing
ice-hockey, exercising in the gym, riding a horse, diving to the
bottom of the Black Sea and flying a hang glider.
