Salavat Yulaev general director commented on the KHL League decision on the early end of the 2019-2020 seasons.

-  The league decided end the season ahead of time.  All of us understand that our health is the most important than determining the winner of the Gagarin Cup. To continue tournament without Jokerit and Barys is incorrect and on a sporting basis. In addition, we said from the very beginning that playing without fans in the stands is not entirely right, especially in the playoffs. Thank you all for your support! We will be back in the new season even stronger. Take care of yourself and your family.
