- Russian League Hockey is still going on despite COVID-19 canceling sporting events worldwide.
- Betting odds have been released for Liga Pro-Short Hockey.
MOSCOW, Russia — As all major sporting leagues around the world have been shut down, Russian Pro League Hockey is still in full effect. It is the Liga Pro-Short Hockey that is still up and running, giving those who are used to betting on the NHL another form of the sport to wager on.
Using comparable upcoming games from international hockey markets like the KHL (since the gap in talent is much wider than the NHL), a 3.5-goal gap in relative ability between two teams will lead you to odds of about -2,200 on the favorite and 10-1 to 12-1 on the underdog. The former Soviet Union won 22 world titles while Russia has 5. Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic each have six while Sweden has won a total of 11 championships. Here are the odds to win the 2020 hockey World Championships. Odds were taken from TitanBet as of 7/25/19.
The NHL has pushed back its self-quarantine guideline for its players until April 15 so those who are looking forward to hockey in the U.S. will have to wait longer for the action to return.
