The hockey world still acknowledges NHL as the number one professional league in the world, but it is clear that the newly formed KHL is the number one competitor. Thanks to the new regulations by the IIHF and the newly signed memorandum the future looks bright for KHL. The issues mentioned in this paper are significant because there were no such problems in the past.
