The Russian vice-champions HC Spartak Moscow will stay in the domestic competition as renamed team of CSKA Moscow.
– Not surprising. The situation is very simple: they have one sponsor – the president of the federation Sergey Nikolayevich Shishkarev. They have already made the CSKA women’s team.

The brand of “Spartak” was untwisted, they did a lot for this, but they did not go far. They promised first places, but it didn’t work out as planned. It all depends on the results, – said legendary coach of Chekhovskie Medvedi, Vladimir Maximov.
From the beginning of the season 2019/2020, CSKA Moscow competing in the women’s league.
