Traditional club Dizel Penza may have its days numbered: according to local site "Tema Penza" citing the Minister of Physical Education and Sports of Penza region Grigory Kabelsky the team may withdraw from VHL in January. Dizel is currently 24th in the standing, the second worst record of the league.
"The situation of Dizel is more than serious, we can speak of an impasse. On January 19 will be set a hearing, with high probability it will be the last, and will begin the process of bankruptcy. The property will be arrested and the funds that will be transferred to the account of the club will go to creditors. Then it will be necessary the creation of a new legal entity, this is the only way. What it would take to recreate a professional club in Penza, is now difficult to say"- said Kabelsky.
Dizel last summer announced the club would not participate in VHL but then reverse the decision.
Last November newly created VDV-Zvezda was withdrawn from the league by unanimous decision of the Board of VHL due to financial problem
