As everywhere results are important, but everyone knows MedveÅ¡čak will be an outsider next season.
I would be very pleased if Medvescak repeats Donbass's first season...

Around 10 games for next season. I dont know for 15/16 season, problem is that Arena is nor primarly built for hockey and having ice there for whole season is expensive. I think Arena needs some upgrade in order to reduce costs of having ice there for long period of time (such is one hockey season).

But do you think 2015/16 is the likely date they get it "fixed" ?
i'm glad for them, it'll be an exotic place to play for sure. but the main question is whether they'll be able to stay in the league for more than one year. frankly i find it unlikely. we'll see.
What i really hope is that it boosts the popularity of hockey in Croatia,the interest IS there,you guys just need to expand on it,hockey needs a bigger exposure and if it succedes Croatia will be in elite division in foreseeable future (7-8 years)
Will be fun to follow KHL MedveÅ¡čak Zagreb in KHL As I understand, clubs will use abbrevation KHL.
To guys comparing Zagreb with Poprad - if you knew history of Lev Poprad and what are KHL plans with Zagreb, you would not compare them.
Yeah they'll use the KHL prefix since it means ''Klub hokeja na ledu'' and it's been in use since the club was founded.
I hope they prove me wrong but I fully expect this club to be used as nothing more then to boost their national with more and more "croatians"
What can we expect of the reinforced Croatian national team? Promotion and a secure place in Division I?
Well...it is long way...first let's see cronucks in Medvescak jersey and then they have to play two/four years in Medvescak.
But with majority of cronucks at disposal, I am sure we can be D1A nation for some time.
And is this something you or Croatia is proud of?

Bold - nonsense. No commision was in Zvolen. Btw, this project has NO chance according to info I have. Btw, did not HK Poprad want to join last year?Wow, news about Zvolen, current champion of Slovak Extraliga (Slovan was champion before them), trying to join KHL for 2014/2015 season:

Apparently there are some two big Russian sponsors (but GM didn't confirm it, just confirmed increased sponsor interest) and Zvolen's arena was already approved by KHL.
I'm not sure how to feel. I want more Slovak clubs in KHL, but Extraliga was already struggling for survival after Slovan left and if the current champion left too along with arguably the second best team of this season (Piestany want to join EBEL for 2014/2015), I don't know what could happen.

Asks person living in the country where kids have to learn Russian to understand what coaches are saying.

That could mean a severely diluted domestic league. The KHL expanding too rapidly can cause big problems for other leagues as I posted here: http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showpost.php?p=64873479&postcount=78
