At the same time, he admitted that he is "'not exactly a puckster" because he is currently engaged in other work.

Putin's remarks came after one of the present deceived real estate investors turned to him for help during the meeting, pledging that he will always give Putin the puck so that he can score his "good goal".

Speaking to acclaimed US filmmaker Oliver Stone in 2017, then-63-year-old Putin admitted that he began to learn to skate so as to play hockey at the age of 60.

"I could not stand on skates at all. I just could not stand. In general, it is always interesting to do something new," Putin noted.
