history

In Yaroslavl teams such as Lokomotive Yaroslavl (1949-1955), Spartak Yaroslavl (1955-1956) and Chimik Yaroslavl (1956-1957) were active, all of which took part in the regional championship of the Russian SFSR . In 1959, the JaMZ Yaroslavl team was founded from the local engine factory JaMZ , which initially took part in the regional league of the Soviet Union, Class B. In the following years, the team established itself within the league before it was renamed Trud Yaroslavl in 1963 and Motor Yaroslavl in 1964 .

In the second and third division (1965-1987)

Torpedo Yaroslavl versus Salawat Yulayev Ufa , 1983

In 1965 the club was given a new name, which it was to carry until 2000 - Torpedo Yaroslavl. In addition, the construction of an open ice rink began, which was completed during the 1966/67 season and was later called the Sports Palace Awtodisel . In 1967 Torpedo won the championship of his group of class B and thus achieved promotion to the third division, class A, 3rd group . Two years later Torpedo won the western season of Class A, 2nd group , but was unable to move up into this due to a reduction in the 1st group of Class A. Through another league reform in 1970, Torpedo was divided into the third division, which was then called the Wtoraja League . In the following years, the team occupied mostly middle places in this division, before winning the western season of the Wtoraja League in 1983, the rise in the second-rate Perwaja League succeeded. In the first season of this league, Torpedo managed to establish itself at this league level with eighth place. In 1987 the club reached first place in the west season after the main round and thus qualified for the promotion tournament. This completed Torpedo with first place and thus rose for the first time in the top division of the Soviet Union, the then Wysschaja Liga .

Establishment in the highest league (1987–1997)

Between the rise in 1987 and the last season of the Soviet championship, Torpedo occupied mostly back places, except in 1990 , when Torpedo took seventh place among 16 participants in the championship round. Well-known torpedo players of this time were Alexander Sybin , Vyacheslav Uwayev , Dmitri Yushkewitsch , Andrei Zhukov , Igor Maslennikow , Sergei Saizew , Vitaly Karamnov . In the 1990/91 season , a similarly good ranking succeeded when Torpedo finished seventh in the preliminary and championship rounds.

In 1992 the International Hockey League was founded and Torpedo was included in it. Torpedo reached the playoffs in each of the following four years, with 1995 winning the preliminary round West. In the playoffs, the team failed either in the second round or in the quarterfinals.

In 1996 the International Hockey League was transferred to the Russian Ice Hockey Championship , which was later renamed the Super League . The first season of the reformed league was dominated by Torpedo Yaroslavl, Ak Bars Kazan and the HK Lada Tolyatti . These three teams occupied the first three places in the final round and were therefore favored for the playoffs. In this Torpedo defeated Neftechimik Nizhnekamsk 2-0, in the quarter-finals HK Dynamo Moscow 2-0, in the semifinals Salawat Julajew Ufa 2-0 and qualified for the playoff final against Lada Tolyatti. Torpedo also won the final series without defeat with 3-0 against Lada and thus achieved the greatest success in the club's history, the Russian championship . Strikers Andrej Skabelka , Alexei Gorschkow , Aleksandrs Ņiživijs and Witalij Lytwynenko as well as goalkeeper Jegor Podomazki , who achieved three shutouts and an average goal counter of 0.98 in nine playoff games, played a major role in this success .

Due to the championship title in 1997 Torpedo qualified for the European Hockey League 1997/98 , where the team won Group D with five wins from six games and prevailed in the quarter-finals against HK Lada Tolyatti. In the semifinals, which took place as part of the Final Four , Torpedo lost 0: 1 to HD Dynamo Moscow. In the Russian championship of the 1997/98 season Torpedo took first place in the West season and was third in the final round, with no playoffs being held. Instead, a cup competition was played in which Torpedo reached the semi-finals. A year later, the team reached the playoff semifinals after a fifth place in the main round, in which they lost to HK Metallurg Magnitogorsk with 1: 3 and ended the season in third place.

In 1998 Torpedo took part in the IIHF Continental Cup and was automatically qualified for the semi-final group P as the host team. With two wins and one defeat, Torpedo took second place in the group, while the group winner, HK Awangard Omsk , made it to the final. In the Russian championship Torpedo Yaroslavl was one of the top teams and reached fourth place in 199 and fifth in 2000. In 2000, the club was also renamed Lokomotive , as the Russian railroad Rossijskije schelesnyje dorogi became the main owner of the club.

Championship title 2002

Before the 2001/02 season , the Czech Vladimír Vůjtek was the first time a non-Russian coach committed. He rebuilt the team and signed top performers such as Andrei Kowalenko , Jan Peterek , Iwan Tkachenko , Wadym Schachrajtschuk , Alexander Guskow and Martin Štrbák during the season . He also expanded the team to include young players such as Alexander Suglobow , Denis Grebeschkow and Artyom Krjukow .

In the playoffs she prevailed 3-0 in the quarter-finals against Krylja Sowetow Moscow , 3-0 in the semifinals against Metallurg Magnitogorsk and 3-0 in the final against Ak Bars Kazan and won the second championship title in the club's history. In the playoffs the team achieved nine wins in a row, in which the team received only 9 goals and scored 28 goals themselves.

Vladimír Vůjtek completed the team again with young players such as Grigori Schafigulin , Andrei Perwyschin and Konstantin Glasatschow and again formed a successful team that finished the main round of the 2002/03 season in first place with an eleven point advantage. The team achieved 34 wins with 7 draws and ten defeats. Lokomotive scored a total of 163 goals and was, together with HK Awangard Omsk, the most dangerous team in the league.

In the Superliga playoffs, the team defeated Salawat Yulayev Ufa 3-0 in the first round, Lada Tolyatti 3-0 in the semifinals and met Severstal Tscherepowez in the final series . Lokomotive won the first two games of the series 3-1 and 4-1 respectively, before Sewerstal prevailed 4-2 in the third game. In the fourth game of the final, Lokomotive achieved the decisive third victory with a 4-0 win and thus won the second championship title in a row.

Player of Locomotive Yaroslavl in 2009

In the summer of 2004, the club's management signed Kari Heikkilä, a Finnish coach, who put the team together again. Due to the lockout in the National Hockey League , the club was able to sign NHL players like Marc Lamothe , Denis Schwidki , Pjotr ​​Stschastliwy , Nikolai Antropow , Karel Rachůnek , Alexander Karpovzew and Alexei Yashin .

→ Main article : Plane crash near Yaroslavl

On September 7, 2011, a Yakovlev Yak-42 aircraft crashed near Yaroslavl shortly after taking off from Tunoschna Airport . A total of 43 of the 45 inmates were killed in the crash. With the exception of the players Daniil Jerdakow , Artur Amirow and Maxim Sjusjakin and the Finnish goalkeeping coach Jorma Valtonen, the entire team was on the plane. The machine was on its way to the Belarusian capital Minsk , where Lokomotiv's first championship game of the 2011/12 season against HK Dinamo Minsk was to take place.

The Kubok Otkrytija , on the day of which the accident happened, was renamed the Locomotive Cup .

Reconstruction of the team (since 2011)

Although the club lost almost its entire team in the crash, the KHL President Vyacheslav Fetissov announced on September 8th that the members of the new squad would be introduced on September 11th. Three days after the accident, team president Yuri Jakowlew announced that the club would suspend play in the 2011/12 KHL season. However, the newly formed team should compete in the second-rate Wysschaja Hockey League from December 2011 onwards and be automatically set for their play-offs .

The first game of the newly formed team, which consisted of their own and young players from other clubs, took place on December 12, 2011. In a sold-out arena in 2000, Loko defeated the VHL championship leader, Neftjanik Almetjewsk , 5-1.

For the 2012/13 season, the club was accepted back into the KHL and signed a team consisting of seasoned international professionals and young talent.

In the 2012/2013 season , the club had a second team that continued to play in the Vysschaya Hockey League and acted as the farm team of the professional team.
