After a meeting in Moscow with MHL director Dmitri Efimov, some decisions have been taken, the most important one is regarding the teams playing in the league. Two new teams have been admitted to the league, even though differently.
MHK Krylya Sovetov, who will play in Setun (Moscow), will start playing in the MHL directly in September 4th, when the league will start. They and Feniks Voskresensk will be the only teams without a KHL counterpart.
The second team instead will eventually enter in the MHL only if they will win (or get the first seeds, that's not yet announced) in the qualification tournament that will be played on 2010 February/March. The team is Amur Khabarovsk's junior team.
Unfortunately, some details haven't been announced yet, exactly like the format of the qualification tournament for the 2010/11 season.
Dmitri Efimov in the end of the press conference also announced that in the next season the league will probably host more teams and that, possibly, the MHL will feature also foreign teams.
Hey - quick question for you!
ReplyDeleteI read a week or so ago that Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg had decided not to ice a team this year.
Does that mean Avto is also out, or do you know yet?
Thanks!

ReplyDeleteFenix, too))
Actually, Feniks is affiliated with Kimik Voskresensk, according to http://en.khl.ru/news/2009/7/6/13699.html...
ReplyDeleteGoshforever is right, Khimik doesn't play in the KHL. Thanks!
