History
The team was founded in the fall of 2008 as an amateur ice hockey team by V.O. Tchaikovsky and V.V. Lukianets. While competing in the city championships, the team would place 3rd in their inaugural season and 2nd the following year, while also playing in tournaments across the country, and winning the Regional Hockey League championship in 2010 and 2011. The team suspended operations for the 2012-13 PHL season, and later returned in 2013-14.[1]
Six games into the 2013-14 season, the club withdrew from the league after failing to appear to their matches due to financial difficulties. Their results were expunged from the league table.
The club was again inactive for the 2014-15 season.
