The NHL club in the Urals has gotten rid of all foreign players.
In Chelyabinsk's "Traktor," all foreign hockey players have been let go. This was reported by "Lenta.ru" with reference to the Telegram channel of the Ural club.
The KHL club did not extend contracts with defenders Jordan Gross, Logan Day, and Michal Chaykovski, as well as forward Joshua Livo. Thus, there are no legionnaires left in the team.
Day became a silver medalist in the KHL in 2025. He played 113 matches for the Chelyabinsk team. Gross, Livo, and Chaykovski joined the team during the last season.
Earlier, legionnaires were let go in "Amur."
"Hockey should be played by our athletes. Therefore, we terminated relationships with legionnaires and began to support graduates from Russian youth teams. Our players are now more motivated, which has led to more victories," commented the governor of the Khabarovsk Territory, Dmitry Demeshin, on the decision to refuse foreign players.
Earlier in May, it became known that the contract with French forward Stéphane Da Costa was terminated by Yekaterinburg's HC "Avtomobilist." Currently, the foreign players remaining in the "drivers" roster are defender Jesse Blacker and forward Daniel Sprong.
