Defender of Kazan “Ak Barsa” Alexei Marchenko believes that the presence of foreign hockey players in the KHL has a beneficial effect on the level of play.
Earlier, league president Alexei Morozov said the KHL had agreed with the Russian Hockey Federation (RHF) on a limit of five foreign players for the 2024/25 season.
— Let (foreigners) come if they are good players. You play and train against them, thus raising your level. This year there was a limit of three foreign players, and the year before, a limit of five, but not all teams had five foreigners. Each team decides for itself whether or not to use the limit. It is possible that with two additional foreigners in the application there will be more opportunities,” quotes Metaratings.ru.
