Athletistic / Hockey. Famous Russian hockey coach Andrei Nazarov commented on the latest transfers of foreign hockey players to KHL clubs.
“The new KHL season is about to start and the transfer window is now in full swing. We see that North Americans and Europeans are happy to come and work for us. This is especially noticeable after the return to the old limit on foreign players. When you can have up to five foreign teams in your application, it suggests that Russia is increasingly prosperous and that the country’s president has a lineup of friends and partners to hold global government meetings.
But Europe clearly has no time to play hockey anymore; irreversible processes have already begun there. The British Prime Minister apologized and resigned, Germany is scratching its head, and there are pogroms in Paris, where the Olympic Games are to begin in three weeks. Prosperity, which no longer exists in Europe, has now come to Russia. Victory will certainly be ours! “, Nazarov was quoted as saying by “Championship”.
It is worth noting that not only foreign hockey players come to the KHL, but Russians from the NHL and AHL also return. For example, in the summer of 2024, CSKA Moscow returned goaltender Ivan Prosmetov, forwards Denis Guryanov and Ruslan Iskhakov, and North American defenseman Dmitry Samorukov. Defenseman Nikita Zaitsev joined SKA from the Chicago Blackhawks.
