History
Avangard, which translates to "advance guard" in English, was established in 1950. The logo features a stylised hawk. The club has changed names several times, with previous names including Spartak Omsk, Aeroflot Omsk, Kauchuk Omsk, Khimik Omsk, and Shinnik Omsk.
Avangard Omsk won the Russian Super League in 2004, which qualified them for the inaugural IIHF European Champions Cup. They would be the first winners of that competition, beating Kärpät Oulu from Finland.
The team is not owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich as it may be concerned. Russian oil company Sibneft partly finances the team, but the majority of its budget comes from province tax money. On July 4 2008, Omsk signed former New York Rangers superstar Jaromír Jágr. The GM is Anatoly Bardin.
