"Your biography has a bright sports life when you – as part of a famous USSR team – captured all possible hockey awards and prizes. Several generations of boys, taking their first steps on the ice, wanted to play like Tretyak," the congratulatory message reads.

"Belarusians know and appreciate you as a person who has significantly contributed to the development of Belarusian-Russian sports ties and strengthening of friendship between our peoples," the Head of State stressed.

The President wished Vladislav Tretyak good health, happiness, prosperity and success in all his affairs and endeavours.
