Novokuznetsk “Metallurgist” And “Yougra” deserves to return to the KHL, said the former forward SKA and the Russian national team Yevgeny Artyukhin .
Metallurg played in the KHL from 2008 to 2017, Ugra from 2010 to 2018. Now both clubs are among the VHL participants.
— I am for the expansion of the league. It’s cool. The championship will become stronger, new teams will be added. It is good for popularizing our hockey. Novokuznetsk residents love hockey, and the stadium has been restored. Very good coaches came there, eager to win. “Metallurg” deserved to return to the KHL, as did “Ugra”. There was “Atlant” in Mytishchi. Is it possible to revive it? There is also, they say, an option with a Serbian team. This is also a good decision for us, ”Artyukhin told RB Sport.
The new season of the FONBET KHL Championship starts on September 3.
