Year by Year

1947-1950

1946/47: On December 22, 1946, the first Soviet Ice Hockey Championship has started. This day is considered to be the birthday of the Soviet/Russian ice hockey. On January 26, 1947, the HC Dynamo Moscow has become the first USSR champion, after winning the last two games from the HC Spartak Moscow (6:1) and CDKA (Red Army Club, future CSKA Moscow) (2:1). All games of the final round were played open air on the ice rink placed at the Small football arena of Dynamo stadium in Moscow. Most of the players have also participated in the Soviet soccer and bandy championships. Here is the list of the HC Dynamo players: M. Stepanov, M. Ukhmylov, O. Tolmachev, M. Yakushin, B. Bocharnikov, V. Komarov, V. Trofimov, N. Postavnin, S. Soloviev, V. Blinkov, N. Medvedev, A. Chernyshev (also the head coach). The team record of biggest victory, 23:0 against Spartak Uzhgorod, has been set up.

1947/48: This year, HC Dynamo has got the bronze, finishing third after CDKA and Spartak. Vasily Trofimov has scored 32 goals and became the team top-scorer.

1948/49: Again the third place, this time behind CDKA and VVS MVO (the Air Force Team from Moscow). V. Trofimov and A. Uvarov were the team best scorers with 19 and 16 goals, respectively. In Moscow, Dynamo has played its first international match and won 13:3 from Team Poland.

1949/50: First silver medals in the team's history. Again, CDKA has become the champion, and Krylia Sovetov (Soviet Wings) from Moscow took the bronze. There was quite a tough competition for the first place between Dynamo and CDKA, but the Red Army club was luckier in the end. Karl Liiv has played his first season as Dynamo goalie.

1951-1960

1950/51: Again the second place (this time behind Vsevolod Bobrov's VVS Moscow) and the silver. Alexander Uvarov has scored 6 goals in one game (10:1 against the "Officer House" from Leningrad) and has set up a new team record. During the season, famous soccer goalie Lev Yashin has played a few games for the team. In the first USSR Cup competition, Dynamo lost 3:4 to the Soviet Wings in the semifinal.

1951/52: : Losses against VVS and CDSA (a new name of the Red Army club) put Dynamo on the third place. Also in the USSR Cup, Dynamo has lost to VVS in the semifinal (1:6).

1952/53: Thanks to Krylov - Kuzin - Uvarov line, Dynamo became the most scoring team in the league (107 goals scored against 47 allowed). However, due to the poor start, the team has got only the bronze, despite good games against VVS (2:1) and CDSA (7:2), the gold and the silver medalists, respectively. However, Dynamo has performed nicely in the USSR Cup and won against CDSA in the Final (3:2). Famous soccer player, Vsevolod Blinkov, who has joined the team just for the USSR Cup competition, has scored twice in this game. Goalie Lev Yashin did not allowed more than two goals against Dynamo.

1953/54: After 7 years, Dynamo became the champion again with a perfect result: 15 victories and only one loss! This was the first season to appear for a young defenseman, Victor Tikhonov, who became later the famous coach of the "Big Red Machine", as Team USSR has been called. He has also scored against CDSA in the USSR Cup semifinal; however, Dynamo did not advance to the Final this time. Team USSR has performed for the first time on the World Championship in Stockholm, Sweden, winning the first place. HC Dynamo players Kuzin, Uvarov and Krylov, as well as the head coach Arkadi Chernyshev, have made a significant contribution to this victory.

1954/55: The third place again, though there was only a 4-points gap between Dynamo and the champion CSK MO (again, a new name for the Red Army club!). Because of a better goal difference, Soviet Wings became the silver medalists. In the USSR Cup Final, Dynamo has lost to CSK MO (2:5). During the season, Dynamo has played its first international tournament in West Germany (Samt und Seide Cup), winning all four games.

1955/56: This season medalists: 1. CSK MO Moscow - 56 points, goal difference 217-29; 2. Soviet Wings Moscow - 51, 207-46; 3. Dynamo Moscow - 46, 132-36. As in the previous season, Dynamo has played in the USSR Final, but lost again to CSK MO (this time 0:2).

1956/57: Two famous players, Karl Liiv and Oleg Tolmachev, have left, but a future star forward Stanislav Petukhov has joined the team. As a year ago, Dynamo was the third, after the Soviet Wings and CSK MO.

1957/58: Final standings: 1.CSK MO - 50 points, goal difference 173-60; 2. Soviet Wings - 49, 168-74; 3. Dynamo - 32, 107-84.

1961-1970

First victory over the Canadian team in Moscow: Dynamo - Chatham Maroons 5:4. 1961/62: After the previous year disaster, Dynamo has managed to struggle for the first place, but, in the end, it took the second place, placed just one (!) point behind the champion, Spartak Moscow. Vitaly Davydov has been named the best defenseman of the tournament. 1962/63: USSR championship final standings: 1. CSKA - 33 points, goal difference 105-30; 2. Dynamo - 25, 77-48; 3.

First victory over the British team in Moscow: Dynamo - Windsor Bulldogs 4:3. 1964/65: In the beginning of the season, Dynamo has won the prestigious Soviet Sport newspaper trophy by beating CSKA 6:3.

Just before the Olympic games in Grenoble (France), Dynamo won from the Team USA 6:2. 1968/69: Again, just the third place behind Spartak and CSKA. In the USSR Cup Final, Dynamo has lost to CSKA (1:3). Vitaly Davydov, Alexander Maltsev, Vladimir Yurzinov and Arkady Chernyshev (as a head coach) became the European and World champions with the Team USSR in Stockholm (Sweden). 1969/70: Dynamo was just 5th in this very unsuccessful championship. Alexander Maltsev became the team top-scorer with 31 goals. In the Soviet Sport trophy and the USSR Cup Finals, Dynamo lost to CSKA and Spartak Moscow, respectively.

1971-1980

1970/71: This was a very promising season for Dynamo Moscow. The team was the leader for the long time; however, CSKA was able to run up and, finally, became the champion. SKA Leningrad was 3rd. Alexander Maltsev was awarded as the championship top-scorer (37 goals + 20 assists = 57 points), leaving famous Valery Kharlamov from CSKA behind. 1971/72: As a year ago, Dynamo took the second place and silver medals. But, in the USSR Cup Final, Dynamo won from Khimik Voskresensk (3:0) and, thus, became the winner of this prestigious trophy. Alexander Maltsev was again named in between six best USSR hockey players. For Vladimir Yurzinov, this was the last season in his player's career. 1972/73: Just a fourth place behind CSKA, Spartak and Soviet Wings. During the winter pause, Valery Vasilyev and Alexander Maltsev have participated in the Team USSR - Team NHL Summit Series in Canada (Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver) and Moscow.

Dynamo - 36 points. First appearance for defenseman Zinetoula Bilyaletdinov. 1974/75: It was one big step back, as Dynamo was able to get only the 6th place. During the season, Vladimir Yurzinov has been appointed as a head coach, instead of Arkady Chernyshev. Valery Vasilyev has been awarded as the best defenseman. 1975/76: Dynamo won the bronze medals this year, however, the team have played quite good hockey, especially in the second half of the championship. Spartak became the champion, and CSKA was second. In May, Dynamo won the USSR Cup after beating CSKA in the Final game 3:2. The team has performed successfully in the Ahearne Cup, winning in the Final from Sparta Prague 8:2. 1976/77: First appearance of a few players who will become the future Soviet hockey stars: Petr Prirodin, Alexander Golikov, Vladimir Semenov and Vasily Pervukhin. These new people have helped Dynamo to win the silver. Prirodin - Maltsev - Golikov line won the "Three Snipers" award (77 goals). Several players have participated in the Canada Cup 1976 with the Team USSR (3rd place). In spring, Dynamo won the Soviet Sport trophy (6:5 vs. Soviet Wings in the Final).

First appearance for forward Sergey Svetlov. 1979/80: Vitaly Davydov has been appointed as a head coach. First appearance for Anatoly Semenov and Sergey Yashin. Dynamo won the silver again.

For the first time in its history, Dynamo has played against a few NHL teams in North America: 2:6 vs. Vancouver Canucks, 7:0 vs. Winnipeg Jets, 4:1 vs. Edmonton Oilers, and 5:5 vs. Washington Capitals.

1981-1990

1980/81: This was the first season for famous goalie Vladimir Myshkin, who has joined the team from the Soviet Wings Moscow. However, this was just an "ordinary" season for Dynamo: bronze medals and the third place behind CSKA and Spartak Moscow. Dynamo won the "Fair Play" trophy as the less penalised team.

1981/82: Vladimir Kiselev became the new head coach. First appearance for Anatoly Antipov and Yury Vozhakov, and the last season with Dynamo Moscow for Petr Prirodin.

Alexander Maltsev and Valery Vasilyev have finished their player careers after the end of the season. On December 30, 1983, Dynamo won the Spengler Cup in Davos, Switzerland.

1984/85: Yury Moiseev became the new head coach. First appearance for defenseman Evgeny Popikhin, forward Vladimir Zubriltchev and goalie Mikhail Shtalenkov. This was the very promising season for Dynamo: the team took the lead after beating CSKA 7:4 and 5:4. However, due to traumas of its best players, the team has lost the deciding game against CSKA (1:11) and won the silver only. Nevertheless, this season has shown that Dynamo was already prepared to compete for the title with CSKA. This was the last season for Vladimir Golikov and Vladimir Semenov.

1985/86: Forwards Andrey Lomakin, Alexander Galtchenyuk and Igor Dorofeev have joined the team. Again, as a year ago, Dynamo became the silver medalist.

Dynamo became the winner of the "Vsevolod Bobrov" Trophy as the most-scoring team of the tournament (201 goals).

First season for goalie Andrey Trefilov, defensemen Sergey Bautin, Vladimir Kramskoy and Dmitry Filimonov, forwards Ravil Yakubov, Roman Ilyin, Andrey Nikolishin, Alexey Kovalev and Alexander Andrievsky.

1991/92: New players like Dmitry Yushkevich, Valery Cherny and Alexey Yashin helped the team to win its third title in a row, beating Spartak Moscow in the semifinal (best-of-five) by 3-1 and CSKA Moscow in the Final series 3-0. Many players, like Mikhail Shtalenkov, Dmitry Yushkevich, Alexander Semak, Daruis Kasparaitis, Andrey Trefilov and Vitaly Karamnov left for the NHL after the end of the season. At the European Champions Cup tournament, Dynamo has got the bronze.

1992/93: The new head coach Petr Vorobiev has managed to create the good team even after losing many key players, compared to the previous season. This year, the former USSR/CIS championship has been transformed into the Interstate Hockey League. In the Final best-of-five series, Dynamo won from Lada Togliatti 3-0. Players like Alexey Yashin, Sergey Petrenko, Alexander Karpovtsev and Jan Kaminsky left for the NHL after the end of the season. In the European Champions Cup Final game held in Düsseldorf, Germany, Dynamo lost to Malmö IF from Sweden in the penalty shot series (3:4).

1993/94: The new head coach Igor Tuzik was not able to repeat the last season success. In the end of the season, during the play-off round, Vladimir Golubovich took over the team. In the Final series vs. Lada Togliatti, though, Dynamo has lost 2-3 and got the silver. The European Champions Cup Final vs. TPS Turku (Finland) brought the silver, too. This was the first season with Dynamo for Alexander Prokopyev and Vladimir Vorobyev.

1994/95: The title is back! After beating Lada Togliatti in the best-of-five Final series, Dynamo has got gold medals and the Interstate Hockey League Cup. During the NHL lockout, Andrey Nikolishin, Igor Korolev, Victor Kozlov and Alexander Karpovtsev have joined the team. During the play-off round, defensemen Kramskoy and Sorokin, as well as forward Dorofeev have contributed a lot to the team success.

1995/96: Yury Leonov and Sergey Petrenko have returned to the team. Though, Dynamo became the vice-champion, placed just two points behind Lada Togliatti in the regular season. In the Interstate Hockey League Cup Final, however, Dynamo won 3-1 from Metallurg Magnitogorsk in the best-of-five series. In the European Champions Cup tournament in Cologne, Germany, Dynamo was placed 5th after losing to KEC Kölner Haie (1:4) and playing 3:3 vs. VEU Samina Feldkirch (Austria). This was the first season for Maxim Afinogenov.

1996/97: This was a very unsuccessful season for Dynamo in the newerly formed Russian Hockey League (RHL). After losing its leaders, it was too difficult for Dynamo to compete with other teams. In the quartefinal series vs. Torpedo Yaroslavl, Dynamo lost 0-2 and stayed without medals. In the 1st European Hockey League (EHL) tournament, though, the team was able to qualify for the Final, but lost to TPS Turku from Finland (2:5). During the season, Yury Ochnev has replaced Vladimir Golubovich as the head coach.

1997/98: Zinetula Bilyaletdinov has been assigned as the head coach. Many skilled players have joined the team, like Sergey Petrenko, Yury Leonov, Mikhail Ivanov, Artyom Chubarov, and Leo Berdichevsky. Dynamo was only the fifth in the regular season losing the title to Ak-Bars Kazan, but has qualified for the RHL Final in which lost to Metallurg Magnitogorsk 1-3 in the best-of-five series. In the EHL Final, Dynamo lost to VEU Samina Feldkirch by 3:5.

1998/99: Dynamo has finished third in the regular season, but lost 2-4 in the Final best-of-seven series vs. Metallurg Magnitogorsk. In the EHL Final game, Dynamo has lost (again!) to Metallurg Magnitogorsk by 1:2.

1999/2000: This was a double-success: Dynamo won the regular season and the Professional Hockey League (the successor for the RHL) Cup after beating Ak-Bars Kazan in the best-of-seven series. However, in the EHL tournament, the team has performed badly, losing two times to Nürnberg Ice Tigers from German DEL and not even qualifying for the quarterfinal.

2001-2007

2000/01: The most unsuccessful season in the team's history - and this has happened just after the last year triumph! Due to the migration of its key players, Dynamo was able to take the 13th place - and thus to avoid the relegation. During the season, Vladimir Semenov has substitued Zinetoula Bilyaletdinov as a head coach.

2001/02: Many good players have joined the team, but the loss to Ak-Bars Kazan in the play-off quarterfinal has brought just the 7th place. Zinetoula Bilyaletdinov has been assigned as the head coach again.

2002/03: This season was just a mirror of the previous one, with the only difference that Dynamo has lost to Avangard Omsk in the quarterfinal.

2003/04: Again the loss in the quartefinal vs. Avangard in the best-of-five series, after winning first two games in Omsk.

2004/05: Vladimir Krikunov has been appointed as the head coach. During the NHL lockout, Maxim Afinogenov, Andrey Markov, Pavel Datsiuk, Artyom Chubarov, Dmitry Frolov and Martin Havlat have joined the team. In the play-off semifinal game two in Moscow, Dynamo set up the team's new-era scoring record after beating Avagard Omsk by 11:0. In the Final best-of-five series against Lada Togliatti, Dynamo won 3-0 and secured the title. This was the last season with Dynamo for Alexander Ovechkin. In the Continental Cup Final tournament, Dynamo has got the silver medals after being placed second behind Zvolen from Slovakia.

2005/06: In the beginning of the championship, many players have left again for the NHL, including key leaders such as Datsiuk, Afinogenov and Ovechkin. The most valuable newcomer was Maxim Suschinsky from the rival Avangard Omsk. The financial problems stroke the team in the middle of the season, and a few players have left just after winning the European Champions Cup in January 2006. No surprise that the team have not succeeded to beat Lada Togliatti in the play-offs (1/8 round, best-of five serie) and left for vacation already in the middle of March 2006.

2006/07: Although the financial crisis was over, the club management was unable to get new good players for the team. Although the season was not a bad one, the team has been kicked out of play-offs already after the first round.
