KHL vs NIHL

The KHL sits a few levels above the UK's second league in the NIHL. There's a number of select imports on NIHL rosters with commendable playing experience, but the levels are on very different lines of the hockey spectrum.

The level of hockey isn't as high as the EIHL (top level), but there are some solid players across the league. Rosters are built up primarily with younger British players and some teams dedicate a portion of the clubs budget on bringing top imports over to greatly strengthen their teams and carry the load (veteran presence, point production, etc).
