Double Olympic champion Vyacheslav Fetissov said he would like to see a Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) team in Novokuznetsk.
On Saturday, a gala match took place in Mytishchi as part of the 6th edition of the annual Ovi Cup tournament, held under the patronage of Alexandra Ovechkina .
— Tell me, is it a pity that there is no KHL in Novokuznetsk? – asked Kirill Kaprizov at Fetisov’s press conference.
“It’s a pity, it’s a pity,” Kaprizov replied.
— Novokuznetsk residents love hockey! This is, for those who do not know, one of the places where ice hockey developed immediately after the war. We need a KHL team in Novokuznetsk! We need to form a team and find a manager. There is a lot of business there, there must be money. It is necessary to give metallurgists the opportunity to watch high-level hockey, ” correspondent reports, citing Fetisov’s words.
By decision of the meeting of the board of directors of the Kontinental Hockey League, Novokuznetsk “Metallurgist “was expelled from the KHL in 2017. The team currently plays in the Major Hockey League (VHL).
