:RUS KHL season's schedule: back to Europe, more derbies and a visit to Shenzen (CHN)

 

 

On July 11 the KHL unveiled the game schedule for Season 12.

 

The program has been drawn up with a view to balancing the best interests of the clubs, their fans, the league’s TV partners and the national teams of the countries involved in the KHL.

 

The regular season: 744 games in 153 days

 

The schedule was drawn up by a working party under the guidance of Sergei Kozlov, head of the department of sporting competitions, and expert Vladimir Zhidkov.

 

Season 12 of the KHL begins on Sunday, Sep. 1, with the Opening Cup.

 

This year’s curtain-raiser will be a repeat of last season’s Gagarin Cup final between defending champion CSKA Moscow and runner-up Avangard Omsk.

 

The regular season runs until Feb. 27, 2020, a total of 153 game days.

 

The playoffs are scheduled to start on March 1 and, if required, game seven of the grand final will be played on April 30.

 

Due to the change in the number of teams competing in this season’s KHL, and in the interests of sporting balance, the KHL has changed the members of each division.

Torpedo returns to the Western Conference and joins the Tarasov Division.

Its place in the Kharlamov Division will go to Sibir.

 

Each of the 24 clubs will play 62 games in the regular season.

All clubs will play each other home and away (46 games).

Within each division, each club will meet two more times (an additional 10 games).

Each team will also play four games with three opponents from the other division in its conference (an additional 6 games, making 62 in total).

In total, there will be 744 games in the regular season.

 

In accordance with the wishes of both fans and TV companies, most game days will feature action in both the Eastern and Western Conferences.

 

The KHL has managed to meet almost all the wishes of the clubs, including arranging big games on key dates for each team (eg the anniversary of the foundation of the club or its city, New Year holidays, etc).

 

Last season’s experiment of scheduling playoff games in the East and West on the same day was a success and will continue in 2019/20.

This format made it easier for fans to follow the progress of both conferences and enabled more games to be shown live on federal TV and KHL TV.

Throughout the playoffs, team will play every second day.

 

To fit in with the international calendar drawn up by the IIHF, the KHL schedule includes pauses for the various stages of the Euro Hockey Tour.

These will be on Nov. 5-10 (in Finland), Dec. 10-15 (in Russia) and Feb. 4-9 (in Sweden).

As usual, there will be a pause for the Week of Hockey Stars in Moscow (Jan. 11-19) and a short New Year holiday (Dec. 31 to Jan. 2).

 

Derby days: the big rivals will meet six times

 

The schedule for 2019/20 has a few new features.

The make-up of the divisions has changed and now all four divisions will play with six teams.

We’ve also upped the number of big games, with the top rivals facing off six times over the course of the season (such as the CSKA vs SKA Army Derby or the Ak Bars vs Salavat Yulaev Green Derby).

 

This year’s schedule is also the most even in terms of the spread of games per day (4.89 on average).

Over the course of a 62-game campaign, teams will typically play 10-12 games each month and not more than 13 (with the exception of Traktor, which plays 14 games in one month).

This means, unlike previous years, there is no noticeable ‘front-loading’ of games in September and October.

For the most part, road trips will not be longer than three games (with a few exceptions early in the season for Kunlun Red Star and Traktor).

 

New destinations – Davos, Almaty and Shenzhen

 

After the success of recent seasons, the KHL is continuing to put games on tour. Under the KHL World Games banner, Salavat Yulaev will play a home game against Ak Bars in Davos, Switzerland, on Dec. 23.

 

In addition to the World Games, the KHL will go to Almaty, Kazakhstan, for the first time.

On Sep. 17 and 20 Barys will go to Kazakhstan’s second city to host Spartak and Traktor.

 

This forms part of the KHL’s on-going strategy to develop hockey in more and more cities across Eurasia.

 

The Chinese city of Shenzhen is another new destination for the KHL.

At the start of the season, Kunlun Red Star will play six games here (two each against Salavat Yulaev, Traktor and Neftekhimik).

 

In January, Jokerit will continue its popular series of visits to Tallinn.

The Estonian capital will welcome the KHL for the third time; this season sees Jokerit playing back-to-back games against Severstal.

 

The playoff structure is largely unchanged from last season.

For the convenience of supporters, the first two rounds of post-season will see action from both conferences on each game day.

This avoids a glut of games all starting at the same time and makes it easier for fans to follow all the action in real time as the playoffs unfold.

 

Georgy Kobylyansky, KHL Vice-President of Sporting Operations:

"Over 11 previous seasons the KHL has accumulated a wealth of experience in drawing up a successful schedule, keeping in mind that every campaign brings its own challenges and requirements. As a result, every year means starting afresh, trying to balance the wishes of all our stakeholders: clubs, national teams and, first and foremost, the fans. Our principle aim is to ensure that it is as easy as possible for everybody to get to see their favorite teams in action, and to ensure that a trip to the hockey brings only positive emotions. I hope that the schedule for the 2019/20 season is convenient and well-balanced for all concerned and I’m looking forward to seeing you all at the hockey".

Epic effort and performance of this team so far against the supermighty USA. 2-2 after 2 periods is just inexplicable !!! Already yesterday this team showed a lot of courage and fighting spirit losing to Sweden only 2-3.

 

Don´t want to be overhyped but I think this years U18 can return our U18 hockey back to the top divsion after last years shameful relegation. The first step was also successfully done by our lobbying, since IIHF already confirmed that we will host the U18 Division I A in Slovakia

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
