Swedish hockey club “Krauns” pretending to join the KHL has already decided on the first match of the next season. Swedish Hockey Federation could not prevent the completion of the Russian league. At a press conference, representatives of the club said that to lead a new team is the famous coach Bengt-Ake Gustafsson.
Kontinental Hockey League year after year continues to vary the composition of the participants of the championship. The tournament and then enter or return Russian groups ( “Ugra”, “Motorist”, “Harmony”), drop in clubs of solid hockey countries ( “Jokerit”, “Lion”, “Slovan”) and infused fresh blood from small championships ( “Medveščak”). <-! place 8187569, /> sport / 2016/04/20 / a_8187569.shtml, article / incut, incut1_link ->
Some commands are retained permanently others immediately leave the tournament, despite notable successes right up to the final Gagarin Cup (HC MVD, “Atlant”, “Lion”).
League Management has long set itself the task to go in all directions, extending its influence on the continent. Therefore, cooperation agreements with the “Milan” or almost decorated appearance of the Chinese club in the CHL does not surprise anyone.
However, one abroad seemed insurmountable for “Kontinentalki” during the eight years of its existence. Of course, we’re talking about Sweden.
Perhaps the most developed in terms of European hockey country, the number of rollers and the players to the number of players in the NHL, quite sharply reacted to all the attempts of the Russian mega project to lure her to his clubs. Even speaking to the second power of the league Sweden “AIC” was forced to decline the invitation KHL because of the tough position of the Swedish Ice Hockey Federation. After the revival of the Champions Hockey League, which in some ways was to become a competitor to the KHL, and agree with the Swedes is not possible.
Yet kahaelovskie bosses found workarounds. April 22 held a press conference of the new Swedish club “Krauns”, which announced its intention to join the KHL.
«According to the 501 th article of the charter of the IIHF, the club wishing to move from one league to another, must obtain a permit from the national federation, – noted at the press conference. – In 2010, it is generally not allowed to join the KHL Swedish club AIK. However, it applies only to existing clubs. <-! place 8186825, /> sport / 2016/04/20 / a_8186825.shtml, article / incut, incut2_link ->
In the case of “Krauns” question entry in the CHL is the responsibility only of the club and the league, but not of the Swedish Federation. “Krauns” is not included in the jurisdiction of the Swedish federation. ”
In a federation, in turn, said they did not support the decision “Kraunsa” because they believe the correct model of development with a strong national championship. However, influence events, it really can not.
Also, leaders of the club, which is very few people know, and in Russia, and in Sweden, shared with journalists and more specific plans for the future. It is known that “Krauns” is going to hold the first meeting of the regular season CHL August 20, 2016, and the first home game – 10 September. Moreover, in the second case it is known and the opponent – CSKA Moscow.
The original “crown” (translated as the club name) had intended to invite to the post of coach of the team Pera morts, head coach of the Swedish national team. However, the expert said that he had received offers from two clubs in the KHL and plans to agree on one of them.
Now the main candidate was the least well-known expert Bengt-Åke Gustafsson, which led the Swedish national team to gold Olimpady and World Championship in the same year and worked in the suburban “Atlanta.”
The club said that they considered it inappropriate to conduct parallel negotiations with several coaches. <-! place 8186639, /> sport / 2016/04/19 / a_8186639.shtml, article / incut, incut3_link -> League
KHL does not give a direct answer whether “Krauns” will appear in the the new season, but it is obvious that the appearance of the project itself would hardly be possible without the support of our league.
The Director General Igor Esmantovich hockey CSKA Moscow, in turn, stressed that his team is ready to play in the KHL with anyone.
«CSKA ready to play with any clubs, whether they are from Sweden, China or any other country. But only on the condition that these clubs are among the participants of the championship KHL matches with them and included in the calendar of events, – the words functionary of the press service of the club. –
Delegation “Krauns” visited our club on the day of my 50th birthday. In an informal atmosphere the representatives of the Swedish club talked about their desire to join the KHL.
But the final decision on the adoption of the new teams in the championship of the number of participants is up to the leadership of the league. ”
The Swedish team definitely will be a step forward in the development of the Continental League, but its sources of financing are still unclear, and the Scandinavian fans can take to remake ambiguous.
Earlier it was reported that in the CHL in the season-2016/17, most likely, there will be also the first Chinese club – “Red Star Kunlun”. Ice Hockey Federation of Russia, the league and the club have already signed a letter of intent, the Chinese are now only need to provide a financial guarantee of their participation.
