History

[edit]

Lokomotiv

[edit]

In 1987, the Lokomotiv women's team was established as a bandy team. The founders of the team were the Krasnoyarsk Railway Administration and the Road Territorial Organization of the Trade Union of the Krasnoyarsk Railway (DORPROFSOZh; Russian: Дорпрофсож).[1] Valery Pozdnyakov became the head coach of the team. Beginning in 1987, the team participated in the Bandy Championship of the Soviet Union (USSR), the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), and Russia. In 1991, they were silver medalists of the USSR Championship and in 1992 they won the USSR Champion title. Lokomotiv's players were consistently selected to the national bandy team of the Soviet Union and, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the national bandy team of Russia.

In 1994, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) selected to include women's ice hockey in the Winter Olympic program beginning at the 1998 Winter Olympics. The team was reoriented towards ice hockey at the initiative of the Krasnoyarsk Regional Committee on Physical Culture and Sports, and were a founding team of the Russian Women’s Hockey League in 1995.

Lokomotiv-Energiya

[edit]

In 2008, after being accepted into its ranks as an affiliate club of HC Energiya in Neryungri, the name of the club changed to Lokomotiv-Energiya. During the 2010–11 season, due to the emergency renovation of the Sokol Ice Palace, the team had to hold their home games and training sessions at the Fakel Sports Complex, which is located 30 kilometres (19 mi) from Krasnoyarsk in the village of Podgorny. On 1 June 2011, Lokomotiv-Energiya joined the Sokol hockey club organization. In March 2012, the team relocated to the new Pervomaisky Ice Arena in the Leninsky district of Krasnoyarsk.

Biryusa

[edit]

In August 2012, after the contracts with Russian Railways and HC Energiya Neryungri expired, it was decided to rename the team. After a survey of fans and the team administration, the women's team of Krasnoyarsk was renamed "Biryusa," after the river Biryusa. At the end of 2012 the team returned to the rebuilt Sokol Ice Palace for training and home games.[1]

In the 2015–16 season, Biryusa was a founding team of the Zhenskaya Hockey League (ZhHL), joining SKIF Nizhny Novgorod as the only teams to have participated in the inaugural season of both the Russian Women’s Hockey League and the ZhHL.
