History of HC Dynamo Moscow

Early Years and Success

The Dynamo Moscow ice hockey team started in 1946. It was part of the larger Dynamo Moscow sports club, which was supported by the Soviet government. Dynamo Moscow won the very first Soviet hockey championship in 1946–47. They beat Spartak Moscow in the final game.

For many years, the team was led by coach Arkady Chernyshev. Dynamo Moscow became one of the top teams in the Soviet hockey league. During the Soviet era, they were almost always one of the top three teams. They won five championships and three USSR Cups. In the last years of the Soviet league and the start of the IHL, Dynamo Moscow won four seasons in a row. This ended the long winning streak of CSKA Moscow.

Team Changes and Challenges

In 2010, Dynamo Moscow joined with another KHL team called HC MVD. The new team was first called United Hockey Club (UHC) Dynamo Moscow. After a few years, the club went back to its original name, Hockey Club Dynamo Moscow.

In 2013, the team tried to bring back Alexander Ovechkin. He had played for Dynamo Moscow from 2001 to 2005 before joining the Washington Capitals in North America.

After the 2016–17 season, HC Dynamo faced some financial difficulties. The league, KHL, became concerned. The main Dynamo Moscow sports club stepped in to help the hockey team. To make sure players were treated fairly, the KHL decided that all 42 players under contract with Dynamo could become free agents. This meant they could choose to play for any other team.
