The Ministry of Physical Culture and Sports of the Novosibirsk region is disappointed with the decision of the joint disciplinary chamber of the Russian Hockey Federation (RHF) and the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) to refuse “Siberia “As part of an appeal against the removal of points,” the head of the department Sergei Akhapov told .
On Monday, the joint disciplinary chamber of the KHL and FHR, after three days of meetings, decided that the technical defeats of Siberia for exceeding the limit of foreign players in the matches of the Fonbet KHL Championship remain in force. The club was refused this request; Siberia remains deprived of 4 points in the ranking.
“We are disappointed with the decision of the joint disciplinary chamber of the Russian Hockey Federation (RHF) and the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) to reject the appeal of HC Sibir and uphold the decision to deduct four points from our team. The situation is ambiguous: questions arise both in the club management and in the KHL regarding the timing of the decision. Four points were taken at the finish, although it is very difficult to regain this gap. Today HC Sibir has a difficult tournament schedule, but the team is fighting and trying to use every chance to reach the playoffs. We support our team and hope that they can climb into the top eight in the Eastern Conference,” Akhapov told .
“Sibir” with 60 points in 63 matches ranks 10th in the Eastern Conference, behind Amur (62 in 61) and Neftekhimik (64 in 62) in the fight for a place in the playoffs.
“Sibir” will play five more league matches: at home against Neftekhimik and Lada, away against CSKA, Salavat Yulaev and Barys.
