Putin marked the opening of the school year on Tuesday by taking part in a game against student players from the Sirius academy for gifted children at the Shaiba arena in Sochi, one of the hockey venues at the 2014 Olympics.
Other players on his side included Pavel Bure, Vyacheslav Fetisov, Alexander Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin.
The veteran team won 9-5, Russian news reports said, but didn't specify whether Putin notched any goals or assists.
Comment: A real president of the people.
Unlike Obama, Cameron and Harper, who are reptilian psychopaths who love the sight of blood and the stench of death. They do not give one flea-fart about the deaths of millions, be they their own citizens or those of other countries. A poll in Ukraine recently showed 84% of Ukrainians (in the western areas) would like Putin as their leader in preference to Poroshenko.
