The KHL has decided to postpone the Week of Hockey Stars and the All-Star Game, which were to take place from January 8 to 16 in Chelyabinsk, to 2023, according to the league's website.

"This decision was made due to the fact that the teams of the star week include a large number of potential participants in the 2022 Olympics, as well as the deterioration of the epidemiological situation in the world, which led to the cancellation of matches of major international tournaments and other foreign leagues," the statement said. ..

KHL President Alexei Morozov said that “it was not an easy, difficult decision for the league - not only the KHL, MHL, ZhHL, but also the region, city, partners had been preparing for the main show of the season for several months”.

Chelyabinsk will host the KHL All-Star Game in 2022. Morozov.

In 2021, the KHL All-Star Game was supposed to be held in Riga, but was also canceled due to the spread of the coronavirus.
