On Wednesday, the 23rd of May, in the concert hall of Moscow’s Barvikha Luxury Village hotel, the KHL staged the 2017-18 season Closing Ceremony, a glittering gala evening dedicated to celebrating the tenth anniversary season of the Kontinental Hockey League Championship and rewarding some of the many heroes whose talent, skill, and endeavor helped make this special, jubilee season such a spectacular success.
Some of the winners were already known, of course, as the prizes rewarded excellence during the reguar season, while others were known before the Gagarin Cup final, such as the trophies handed out to CSKA Moscow and Ak Bars Kazan for becoming champions of, respectively, the Western and Eastern Conference.
