Admiral Vladivostok has announced withdrawal from the 2020-21 KHL. Due to financial hardships related to the COVID outbreak.

When the club was created in April of 2013 it was dedicated to Vyacheslav Fetisov. They play at the Fetisov Arena.

Former NHL star Aleksander Mogilny was the team president, before taking over same position at Amur Khabarovsk (his hometown).


Sidenote, I always laugh when Western reports claim Mogilny as a European. He is from a region near Vladivostok which is on the Pacific coast. He's from further east than North Korea.
