Metallurg Novokuznetsk (Russian: Металлург Новокузнецк) is a professional ice hockey team from Siberia based in Novokuznetsk, Kemerovo Oblast, Russia. They are currently members of the Supreme Hockey League (VHL).

History

The team was founded in 1949 in Novokuznetsk (then Stalinsk) to compete in the lower divisions of the Soviet ice hockey championship. During the 1960s, Metallurg managed to advance to the elite group for several seasons, but did not establish itself as a major club until the 1990s when the International Hockey League was formed.

During the first years of the post-Soviet era, Novokuznetsk significantly improved its roster with players from the Ust-Kamenogorsk school.

The team's downfall began in 2004 when its managerial staff moved to SKA Saint Petersburg signing the best players from Novokuznetsk. Despite that the team was able to rebuild itself and years later joined the Kontinental Hockey League in 2008.

Following the 2016–17 season, with the KHL in need to regulate debts amongst clubs through contraction and with Novokuznetsk in financial trouble pertaining to a lack of success on the ice, they were excluded from participating in the KHL on May 24, 2017. Novokuznetsk will continue to operate their junior club program and also participate in the secondary tier of the VHL.

On 21 May 2020, Metallurg ended their affiliation with HC Sibir Novosibirsk, opting to be the farm team for Avangard Omsk of the KHL for the 2020–21 season.

Metallurg Novokuznetsk is a professional ice hockey team based in Novokuznetsk, Russia. The team was founded in 1949 and has since become a prominent member of the Russian ice hockey league. The team's home arena is the Platinum Arena, which has a seating capacity of 7,500 spectators.

The team's colors are blue, white, and red, and their logo features a stylized letter "M" with a hockey stick and puck. Metallurg Novokuznetsk has a rich history of success, having won several championships and awards over the years.

The team is known for its strong defensive play and physical style of hockey. They have a reputation for being a tough team to play against, with a roster of skilled players who are not afraid to throw their weight around on the ice.
