Kyiv hockey club will not be able to participate in the European Cup due to financial problems.
Sokol will not participate in the 2022/23 Continental Cup. This is the official website of the IIHF. The reason for the refusal of the Kyiv club from the European Cup tournament was significant financial problems and organizational factors.
The place of the capital team in the tournament will be taken by Kremenchuk, who was in second place in the championship of Ukraine, which ended ahead of schedule due to the war.
Note that this will not be a debut for the team from Kremenchug, the team previously played in the Continental Cup in the 2015/16 season.
It can be remembered that Sokol’s rivals in Group F of the third qualifying round were identified earlier. With them now Kremenchuk had to meet. These are Nitra, Unija and the winner of group D in the preliminary round. The matches will take place from 18 to 20 November.
