Former head coach of the Russian national hockey team Vladimir Pluschev told he did not consider the decision revolutionary KHL extend the deadline for the 2024/25 season until May 31.
On Friday, the KHL Board of Directors approved new deadlines for the Fonbet KHL Championship and the OLIMPBET MHL Championship starting from the 2024/2025 season. The new deadline is May 31. From now on, the season ends no later than April 30.
— I think the KHL counted the number of matches and weighed everything. We will not have an international calendar next season either. Most likely, this initiative was taken in the interests of the fans. I don’t think extending the KHL season means the league will leave the influence of the FHR. It doesn’t seem to me that the federation influenced the KHL. There has been a consultative interaction and it will remain so. The extension of the season has probably been discussed with the FHR. I will not say that some kind of revolutionary situation occurred.
I have a positive attitude towards this. Why end so early? And then being on vacation for four months? “It doesn’t matter,” Plyushchev told .
