If I remember correctly the The main reason why the club was founded and joined the KHL was to increase interest of the sport in the country, and to attract young Chinese talent to the sport. I don't know how well it worked, as most matches in China 2-3 years ago were played in front of empty stands. and last 2 years they played in China like a total of 0 matches... And as for the mentioned non-naturalized / naturalized players saga, the problem is that any lawyer will easily succeed in any tribunal...since majority of players have like never been in China in their life yet. The IIHF rules state that the player must play in the country he wants to represent for at least 2 consecutive years. And that is the problem, the guys play for Kunlun, but due to the whole covid craziness, Kunlun is not playing in China at all. The club is even registered in Russia, players play and train near Moscow. If you ask me I was never in favor of free quota for CHN male team (I think everbody here know it very well a couple of years already) I have nothing against China, they are a super sport powerhouse but a complete garbage in Hockey. I don't know if this is the right way to give free place to a country just because they organize the Olympics. But Well okay, it is how it works, they are the host, so whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckošice 13,731 Posted November 28, 2021 Author #332 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Here's the latest on China's ice hockey drama, with LOTS more to come over the next few weeks. Hearing that several players on both the men's and women's teams have serious concerns over their passport situation - dual or otherwise - and there is currently a standoff. https://t.co/foaiSzeSHI — Mark Dreyer (@DreyerChina) November 25, 2021 Jan Linha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NearPup 2,400 Posted December 7, 2021 #334 Share Posted December 7, 2021 At this rate the IIHF will ask to travel just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckošice 13,731 Posted December 7, 2021 Author #335 Share Posted December 7, 2021 but on the other hand, it must be said that the team that the Chinese would like to field does not do badly at all, quite the opposite. Yesterday they managed to get a point against a very strong Tractor Chelyabinsk team. If the IIHF recognizes this team then then the home team could have a quite decent team. Even if they were clearly outshoot by their opponents, Paris O´Brien is a Goaltender beast with excellent numbers Line-up 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳 pic.twitter.com/zjFTJI8tka — Kunlun Red Star (@KRSchina) December 6, 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
