The 2011–12 KHL season was the fourth season of the Kontinental Hockey League. The regular season began with the Opening Cup game on 7 September 2011, but because of the 2011 Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plane crash, which occurred during the first period of the Cup game and killed all but one member of the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl team, further play was delayed until 12 September 2011.{{cite web|url=http://en.khl.ru/news/2011/9/7/24152.html|title=Yaroslavl plane tragedy|publisher=khl.ru|date=2011-09-07|access-date=2011-09-07|archive-date=2011-09-23|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110923070857/http://en.khl.ru/news/2011/9/7/24152.html|url-status=dead}} The tragedy forced Lokomotiv Yaroslavl to cancel their participation in the KHL season.{{Cite web |last=Earle |first=Jonathan |date=2011-10-13 |title=Lokomotiv Survivor: 'We Knew We Would Crash' |url=https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2011/10/13/lokomotiv-survivor-we-knew-we-would-crash-a10152 |access-date=2024-03-05 |website=The Moscow Times |language=en}}{{Cite web |last=McCurdy |first=Bruce |date=September 10, 2011 |title=Lokomotiv will not play 2011-12 KHL season |url=https://edmontonjournal.com/sports/hockey/nhl/cult-of-hockey/lokomotiv-will-not-play-2011-12-khl-season |access-date=March 4, 2024 |website=Edmonton Sun}} The Opening Cup was renamed the Lokomotiv Cup in honor of those lost in the tragedy.

The regular season ended on 26 February 2012 and the following playoffs ended on 25 April.{{cite web |url=http://en.khl.ru/documents/KHL_calendar_2011-2012_regular_en.pdf |title=Kontinental Hockey League Championship – Russian Ice Hockey Championship Season 2011/2012 Calendar|publisher=khl.ru |access-date=14 June 2011}}

League changes

=Team changes=

Expansion to Slovakia

With the admission of Lev Poprad from Poprad, Slovakia the league expanded beyond the borders of the former Soviet Union.{{cite web |url=http://en.khl.ru/news/2011/5/9/24094.html|publisher=khl.ru |date=2011-05-09 |title=Back to 24}} This brought the number of teams to 24. However, following the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plane crash that claimed the lives of the entire Lokomotiv Yaroslavl squad (with the exceptions of forward Maxim Zyuzyakin and goaltending coach Jorma Valtonen), Lokomotiv withdrew from the season, leaving only 23 teams as in the previous season.

Regular season

The regular season was supposed to start on 7 September 2011 with the Opening Cup and end on 26 February 2012 with short breaks in November, December and February for international matches and for the all-star game.{{cite web |url=http://en.khl.ru/news/2011/6/1/24100.html |title=Going West |date=1 June 2011 |publisher=Kontinental Hockey League |access-date=13 July 2011 |archive-date=5 April 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120405192000/http://en.khl.ru/news/2011/6/1/24100.html |url-status=dead }} However, after the Yaroslavl plane tragedy, the schedule had to be modified: the start of the season was postponed to 12 September and the number of games for each team was reduced to 54 as in the previous season, when also only 23 teams participated.
