History
One of the sections of the
Spartak
Moscow sports club, HC Spartak
Moscow was established in
1946. They have won
the Soviet Championship four times, and have also had
European-level success in the
Spengler
Cup, which they have won five times.

Unfortunately for its fans, the
financial state of the team was becoming worse and worse since the
beginning of 2006. After the season, a Russian businessman and huge
Spartak fan, Vadim Melkov, volunteered to find suitable sponsorship
for his favorite team.
After negotiations, the Government of
Moscow
agreed to cover all of team debts. Some
preliminary agreements about team sale were achieved as well.
Unfortunately for Spartak, Melkov died during the
S7 Airlines plane crash of July 9,
2006. All the deal proposals were cancelled. After a month of
struggling to improve the financial situation, it was decided by
Spartak management to disband the team for a year.
