MOSCOW, September 8 – R-Sport, Alexander Rogulev. The decision on the limit on foreign players adopted by the CHL on Tuesday, will operate for two years, said the vice-president of the Magnitogorsk “Metallurgist” Gennady Velichkin.
The extraordinary meeting of the Board of Directors on Tuesday approved the CHL, players from Kazakhstan and Belarus will be considered as foreign players in league games. Following the meeting, it was determined that the number of foreign players in the applications of clubs for the season by the order of the Ministry of Sports is not regulated.

The number of foreign players that can enter the game in the Russian KHL clubs, remains the same – 5 (including no more than 1 goalkeeper).
“Decisions made today are designed for two years” – said Vyalichkin journalists.
