This season, KHL has organized two regular league matches in Zurich and Vienna as part of the KHL World Games project.
"The KHL World Games have shown high-level hockey, there is not really a fight, but the speed of the game is completely different from that of the European Championships. As you know, for the first time in 25 years, our national team has moved up to the elite world championship group and we are struggling to find rivals. The strongest teams play together and it was a difficult task for us. We agreed that in April 2019, three teams from KHL will come to visit us. One of the games will definitely take place in Sheffield, "French said.
The general secretary also noted that there was a lot of talk about the establishment of the KHL club in the UK. "Many Russians live and work in our country. The quality of our league is increasing and the appearance of the KHL club will not affect in any way the development of hockey, it will only help, "said French.
Currently teams from Kazakhstan, Latvia, Finland, Belorussia, China and Slovakia are performing in the KHL.
