Five clubs can leave the Russian hockey super -League

The leaders of the three clubs - Magnitogorsk Metallurg, Lokomotiv and Severstal sent a letter addressed to the President of the FCH Vladislav Tretyak, which announced a possible refusal to participate in the Russian Championship. According to the newspaper Sport-Express , the reason for taking such a step was the deprivation of the PHL right to hold champion-2006/07. For the same reason, the leaders of St. Petersburg SKA are seriously studying the possibility of participating in the elite League of Finland.

The situation may be resolved at a meeting of the FCR Executive Committee, which will take place on the next Friday. The head of the Federation Vladislav Tretyak, as you know, is now in America, where he is negotiating with the NHL Commissioner Gary Battman. He returns to Moscow on Wednesday.

At the FHR Executive Committee, the Super League can not only be reduced to the four mentioned clubs, but also replenish with the Khabarovsk "Amur". Moreover, such a decision has already been made by Kuluarno that the Amur was worth, according to the newspaper, $ 1,100,000.

In addition, according to the “Soviet sports” , the Moscow Spartak Moscow, which has not yet provided financial guarantees for its participation in the Russian Championship, will be excluded from the Super League. The red-white was given a delay to the executive committee of the FCR.
