History

Financial dispute

The team was expelled by the League and forfeited from the 2013 playoffs for not fulfilling its financial obligations to the League and to its players.[1][2][3] Its former captain, Serhiy Klymentiev, along with goaltender Igor Karpenko filed a lawsuit against the club at the conclusion of the season.[4] It has since not taken part in the 2013–14 Ukrainian Hockey Championship season.

Name change

On 26 January 2014, it was announced that HC Berkut-2, a Ukrainian ice hockey team in the Amateur Hockey League would be changing so as to avoid association with Berkut forces in their role repressing Euromaidan activists.[5]
