Alexander Medvedev: The KHL may extend to 32 clubs at most

At the press conference dedicated to the inclusion of the Slovak Lev Poprad into the KHL, the head of the league Alexander Medvedev has spoken about the prospects of its expansion.

«The KHL may extend to 32 clubs at most. One of the options is the club that will play at the stadium in Donetsk. In a couple of weeks there will be a press conference of Hockey Milano who are also preparing themselves for the KHL. However, Torpedo Leipzig from Germany are still not ready to join our league. Neither their infrastructure, nor their budget, nor their team’s strength do not meet the requirements of the KHL,» stated Medvedev according to Sovetsky Sport.
