==Transition to KHL==
Though currently acting independently, plans were in place to convert it to a farm system for the [[Kontinental Hockey League]] (KHL)'s [[2010–11 KHL season|2010–11 season]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.khl.ru/news/2010/3/19/26831.html |title=Учреждение ВХЛ |publisher=KHL.ru |accessdate=4 April 2010}}</ref> It was preceded by the [[Vysshaya Liga (ice hockey)|Major League of the Russian Championship]] (Vysshaya Liga) that formerly held a relegation role for the [[Russian Superleague]], and was governed by the [[Ice Hockey Federation of Russia]]. As of the 2017–18 season, some VHL teams are affiliated with a KHL team (e.g. [[HC Sarov]] is affiliated with KHL's [[Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod|Torpedo]]), while other teams of the VHL are not affiliated with a KHL team.
It is believed that the league will become more of a developmental league. Only seven players over the age of 29 will be allowed onto each team's roster.  With no promotion/relegation system set in place with the new [[Kontinental Hockey League]], it has been speculated that most teams in the league will eventually become farm teams of the KHL teams.
 
==Russian Classic==
The '''Russian Classic''' (Russian: Русская классика, Russkaya klassika) is an outdoor ice hockey game that is played during the Supreme Hockey League regular season. So far, the visiting team has won every edition of the game.

The Supreme Hockey League[1][2] (Russian: Высшая хоккейная лига (ВХЛ), Vysshaya hokkeinaya liga (VHL)), also known as the Major Hockey League[3][4] or Higher Hockey League (HHL),[5] is a professional ice hockey league in Eurasia, and the second highest level of Russian hockey.

Though currently acting independently, plans were in place to convert it to a farm system for the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL)'s 2010–11 season.[6] It was preceded by the Major League of the Russian Championship (Vysshaya Liga) that formerly held a relegation role for the Russian Superleague, and was governed by the Ice Hockey Federation of Russia. As of the 2017–18 season, some VHL teams are affiliated with a KHL team (e.g. HC Sarov is affiliated with KHL's Torpedo), while other teams of the VHL are not affiliated with a KHL team.

Russian Classic

The Russian Classic (Russian: Русская классика, Russkaya klassika) is an outdoor ice hockey game that is played during the Supreme Hockey League regular season. So far, the visiting team has won every edition of the game.
