history
In 2004 the Russian Interior Ministry decided to finance its own ice hockey club and founded the HK MWD Tver on the basis of the THK Tver . In 2007 the club name was changed to HK MWD Balashikha after the team moved from Tver to Balashikha . In 2005, by winning the championship title in the Wysschaya League, he was promoted to the Super League , in which he qualified for the playoffs in the first season . Here the team lost in a hard-fought series Ak Bars Kazan .
While Balaschicha only reached 18th place in the KHL premiere season and thus could not qualify for the playoffs, the team achieved second place behind SKA St. Petersburg the following year . Due to austerity measures by the Ministry of the Interior, the HK MWD merged in 2010 with the financially troubled HK Dynamo Moscow to form OHK Dynamo .
