HC Spartak Moscow (Russian: ХК Спартак Москва, English: Moscow Spartans HC) is a professional ice hockey team based in Moscow, Russia. They play in the Bobrov Division of the Continental Hockey League (KHL).
History
Well known for it's football (soccer) team, the Spartak Moscow Sports Club established an ice hockey team in 1946. In its glory years, the team won four times the Soviet Championship and five times the Spengler Cup.
In recent years however, the financial state of the team has steadily worsened since early 2006. A russian business man who was a huge fan of the team, Vadim Melkov, volunteered to find a suitable sponsorship for the team, in the hope to help it stay afloat. He managed to come in agreement with the Government of Moscow after negotiations - the government had agreed to cover all of the debts of the team. Unfortunately, Melkov died in a plane crash on July 9th 2006, which delivered another blow to the Spartak management, as all of the deals negotiated by Melkov were cancelled with his death. After a month of efforts to improve the financial situation of the team, to no avail, it was decided that the team would be disbanded for the 2006-07 Russian Superleague season. The team returned in 2007 and joined the Continental Hockey League in 2008.
