An unusual hockey match was held in the Sochi Olympic Park on Tuesday. The Stars of the NHL team with Putin among the players clashed with the NHL team presented by Russian businessmen and officials.
It was not the first time when Vladimir Putin tried on the role of a hockey player. The Russian leader took the ice of the Olympic Park under his usual eleventh number.

Putin's team won nine goals to five. The President helped his team to achieve victory: he has scored one goal into the gate of the NHL team. However, the Russian leader demonstrated brighter results last year when he scored eight goals during one match.
