Hockey clubs vh teams logo. Approved calendar and new logo vhl. Dmitry Kurbatov, Executive Director, FHR

The Russian Hockey Federation has approved the calendar of matches of the All-Russian Hockey Competition - “Championship of the Highest Hockey League” of the 2017/18 season. In the new season 27 clubs will perform.

In the regular season, the teams will have to conduct a two-round tournament according to the system, each with each “home” and “away”. In total, at the first stage, each team will play 52 matches.

In the playoffs, the sixteen strongest teams will continue the fight for the main VHL trophy - the Vladimir Petrov Cup, which will form pairs at each stage according to the principle: the highest seeding number versus the lowest (the team that takes 1st place in the regular season will meet 16- 2nd, 2nd from the 15th, etc.).

Hockey clubs “Miner” (Uchaly), “Metallurg” (Novokuznetsk), CSK Air Force (Samara), as well as two Chinese teams “Kunlun Red Star Heilongjiang” (Harbin) and “Tseng Tou” (Jilin) \u200b\u200bwill take part in the tournament for the first time.

The regular VHL championship will last 165 calendar days, the New Year pause will be 8 days. In the championship there will be only 15 non-gaming days (a year earlier - 21). Almost a third of the regular season matches will be held on weekends.

When compiling the calendar, the load on sports facilities was taken into account, especially in Kazan, Penza, Krasnoyarsk, Chelyabinsk, Tyumen, Izhevsk and St. Petersburg. In order to popularize hockey, the matches of the VHL teams were maximally divorced from the KHL games.

Despite all the difficulties, the calendar takes into account the interests of clubs, their logistics needs when moving from city to city, and the sporting principle of equal conditions for all participants in the VHL Championship is observed.

Opening match will take place September 8, 2017. The winner of the regular season of the last season “Torpedo” from Ust-Kamenogorsk at home will receive the silver medalist of the all-Russian hockey competition of the 2016/17 season “Zauralie” from Kurgan.

In addition to the calendar, a new VHL logo was approved. It is an improved version of the previous logo of the organization, which allows us to convey the idea of \u200b\u200bcontinuity of goals and managerial philosophy with its significant modernization.

The logo has the form of a shield, made in the style of minimalism using black and white colors. The refusal to use the colors of the Russian flag underlines the international status of the organization.

Stylistically, the new logo differs from the previous logo in a more rigid outline of the shield and modern lines of the font.

Dmitry Kurbatov, Executive Director of FHR:

Last season in the Higher Hockey League was successful and you can definitely record it as a plus to the development of the league, but at the same time we have big and ambitious plans for the future. The next season is significant for us: we enter it with a new logo, with a new composition of clubs, with an expanded representation of foreign clubs, with an updated site and an old-new cup, which received the name of Vladimir Vladimirovich Petrov. This will be the new season for the new Major Hockey League, which is taking a big step forward in its development.
