Sibir forward Georgy Belousov believes that more Russian players should play in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).
Earlier, the Ministry of Sports approved the return of the limit of five foreign players in the KHL. Starting from the 2024/25 season, teams in the Russian league will be able to register no more than five foreign hockey players for matches, including a maximum of one foreign goalkeeper. Starting from the 2023/24 season, Russian teams in the Fonbet KHL championship could include no more than three foreigners in the application for matches.
— Are you surprised that so many famous players are still without a club?
“This has surprised me for a long time.” I can’t comment on this because I don’t know the situation. There could be several reasons. But from this angle, it’s very surprising.
— There is an opinion that this is due to an increase in the limit of foreign players, and clubs recruit foreigners first.
– And us? McDavid With Draisaitlem “Will they come? Who are they waiting for? We also need Russian players. In this case, the KHL is practically a Russian league. Previously, it was clear that Slovan, Medvescak, Jokerit and other teams were playing. And now there are only Kazakhstan and Belarus,” Belousov said, as quoted by RB Sport.
The new season of the FONBET Continental Hockey League begins on September 3. “Siberia” The next day we will play away against Omsk Avangard.
