HC Olympia Kolos Sekvoia
The HC Olympia Kolos Sekvoia (ukr: Хокейний клуб Олімпія – Колос – Секвойя) is a Ukrainian hockey club from the city of Vinnytsia, about 350 km southwest of Kiev . Founded in 1998, the club received an artificial hockey pitch five years later. The club, which plays in blue jerseys and blue shorts, is the largest in the country with around 600 members and is currently also the most successful with nine championships on the field and twelve championships in the hall. In addition, the Ukrainian Cup has been won four times.
In the 2008/2009 season, the club had qualified for the Euro Hockey League (EHL) due to its good previous year results in the lower European Cup competitions. Kolos Sekvoia was eliminated in the preliminary round after 2: 5 against Grunwald Posen and 0: 8 against Amsterdam's H&BC , which meant that Ukraine did not get a starting place in the EHL in the following season. In 2010/2011, the club returned to the EHL, but lost again both preliminary round matches 3: 4 against Irish representative Pembroke Wanderers HC and 2: 9 against HGC Wassenaar from the Netherlands.
