Russia president Vladimir Putin is just as powerful on the ice as he is on the political stage, apparently.
Putin is known to be a huge hockey fan, and, even at 66 years of age, he still plays the sport. And he doesn’t just play, either — he dominates.
He played in a recent game and scored eight goals. Lucky for us, we have video of it all, and can enjoy Putin slicing and dicing his way to the net — and finishing like a boss — for a nice goal.

He saluted the crowd and gave an obligatory wave to the fans in the stands watching him as well.
