Captain “Salavat Yulayev” 36 years Grigori Panin believes it won’t be a problem for older players to play 68 games in the regular season KHL .
The 2022/2023 KHL regular season starts on September 1, 2022, will last until February 26, 2023 and will consist of 164 game days and 748 games, and each club will play a record 68 games for the first part of the championship.
– In the new KHL season, there will be 68 regular season games, and all the guys and coaches are happily saying in the recorder: “It’s better to play than to train.” But due to the number of games, the pre-season has also changed, there will be minimal recovery time between games. Will such a season, especially for older children, become an experience on the body?
“You know, I’ll tell you something like this. Players of all ages, all veterans who stayed in the KHL – these guys are preparing very decently for the season. And this is a very good example for young people. The adult guys who are in Salavat and other teams, I know they are professional and very sensitive to their bodies. So I don’t see any tragedy there.
Yes, here you will have to think about recovery, how you recover after the game, but I think there will be no problems with that either. But in principle, in general, it has been talked about for a long time – that it is necessary to increase the number of games. Because the same youth that we all really hope for, all the Panarins, Ovechkins and the other guys, they go out of the game when there are a lot of high level games. They get their game experience, especially in playoff games, they get soaked there,” Panin said.Championship “.
In the regular season, there will be a break for national team matches – from December 12 to 18, 2022, which will be preceded by Hockey Stars Week in Chelyabinsk on December 10-11.
