Russian Major League

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Russian Major League (Russian: ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿, Vysshaya Liga) is a professional ice hockey league in Eurasia, and the second highest level of Russian hockey. Though currently acting independently, plans are in place to convert it to a farm system for the Kontinental Hockey League's 2010-11 season. Prior to the KHL's creation, it held a relegation role for the Russian Superleague and Soviet League (where it was classified Class-A 2nd division). It is believed that the league will become more of a developmental league. Only seven players over the age of 29 will be allowed onto each team's roster. With no promotion/relegation system set in place with the new Kontinental Hockey League, it has been speculated that most teams in the league will eventually become farm teams of the KHL teams.
