A turn of events about the partecipation of Uzbek team in the Kazakhstan League: originally, following the enter of Humo Tashkent into VHL, another Uzbek team - Binokor Tashkent, should have entered the Kazakhstan League as Humo farm team. Binokor already announced 47-year-old Russian Alexander Ageev as head coach. But apparently the club management did not provide official confirmation of their intentions. So today the Kazakh Federation announced the newly created Hockey Club Sherdor from Samarkand will take part in the championship of Kazakhstan in the next season. Team is already training in Glazov, Russia, with same Ageev as coach and should debut in the new Samarkand Arena, started building in 2017 and about to be completed in September according to Uzbek Federation
