Russian President Vladimir Putin celebrated his 63rd birthday on Wednesday by hitting the ice.

Putin scored seven goals as his star-studded team, which included NHL legends Vyacheslav Fetisov and Pavel Bure, won the game 15-10. The opposing team included Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu as well as Putin's close friends -- tycoons Gennady Timchenko and Arkady Rotenberg. 

Both were slapped with Western sanctions last year for their ties to Putin in the wake of Russia's annexation of Crimea.

Putin was given a trophy for his team's win at the end of the game and a medal for his contribution to hockey in Russia.
