Hockey Club Tornado Moscow Region (Russian: Хоккейный клуб «Торнадо» Московская область), often shortened to HC Tornado, Tornado Moscow Region or Tornado Dmitrov, is a professional ice hockey club in the Zhenskaya Hockey League (ZhHL). The team is based in Dmitrov, Moscow Oblast, Russia, and they play at the ice palace of the Dmitrov Sport Complex (Russian: Спортивный комплекс Дмитров), abbreviated as SC Dmitrov (Russian: СК Дмитров).[1] Tornado is a nine-time Russian Champion and won the European Women's Champions Cup four times.

History

HC Tornado has been a top competitor in the women's ice hockey Russian Championship since the club's inaugural season in 2003–04. During its first fifteen seasons, Tornado was the dominant force in the Russian Women's Hockey League, winning seven national titles and never finishing below second place. They medaled at five IIHF European Women's Champions Cup (EWCC) tournaments, winning the cup in 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2014, and claiming silver in 2006; Tornado is tied with AIK Hockey Dam for most EWCC titles held by a single team. During the same period, Tornado also won three Challenge Cups and four Czech Women's Cups.

In the 2018–19 season Tornado ranked fifth in the regular season, failing to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in team history.[2] The poor performance was attributed to the absence of several key players, such as Lyudmila Belyakova and Angelina Goncharenko, who were on maternity leave, and the departure of Maria Batalova to Agidel Ufa.

The team returned to the top half of the ZhHL in the 2019–20 season, bolstered by the return of both Belyakova and Goncharenko.[3] Tornado finished the regular season as the second ranked Russian team but the newcomers to the league, China-based Shenzhen KRS Vanke Rays, upset the ZhHL's traditional order, blazing to the top of the ranks and pushing each of the Russian teams down a peg. As a result, Tornado finished the regular season as the third-ranked team overall and faced the first-ranked Vanke Rays in the playoff semifinals, where they were swept by the eventual champions.[4]
