27 Aug 2013, 23:40 | Agreement between the KHL and Spengler Cup

The KHL and the direction of the Spengler Cup reached an agreement to avoid organizational problems in case of participation of a KHL team in the tournament.

The KHL Director of porting events Dmitri Kurbatov explained that the agreement was a framework containing no obligation for either party, but it was intended to avoid a KHL team to change its schedule to participate in the Swiss competition. There is therefore no question of any financial obligation.

Thus, negotiations involving KHL club to participate in the Spengler Cup should be done before the publication of KHL schedule, in the spring before the edition of the tournament in question. A window will then be freed for the team at the end of the calendar year.

"The collaboration between the Spengler Cup and the KHL is now back on track"said Kurbatov
