President of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) Alexey Morozov spoke about the organization’s relationship with the National Hockey League (NHL).
— How are your relations with the NHL now? Are exhibition matches involving their teams and ours now basically impossible?
— Now all contact with the NHL is limited to email correspondence regarding player transfers. When one of our players signs a contract there, they request information on whether he has a valid agreement in the KHL. The same applies to us. There are no special contacts at present, but we still adhere to the Memorandum of Mutual Respect, which once existed and was signed, despite the fact that such a document no longer exists at present “, quotes Morozov in Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
Previously, the IIHF extended the suspension of the Russian and Belarusian national teams from international competitions for the 2024/25 season. Russian teams are no longer allowed to participate in tournaments under the auspices of the IIHF from 2022. Russia was also deprived of the right to host the 2023 World Championships, which was to be held in St. Petersburg, as well as the Junior World Championships in Omsk and Novosibirsk.
