Athletistic / Hockey. The management of Khabarovsk “Amur” intends to significantly increase the team’s salary fund for the 2024/2025 season. The Far East is ready to increase the amount spent on hockey players’ salaries by one and a half times.
As Sport-Express reports, starting next season, Amur will be able to count on 900 million rubles in salaries. At the moment, the KHL salary cap is limited to this amount. Note that Amur’s payroll now amounts to around 650 million rubles.
