History
[edit]Founded in 1979 on the base of the junior HC Dynamo Moscow team, enforced with juniors from Voskresensk, Kiev, Minsk, Ufa, Penza, and Novokuznetsk. After three seasons in the third tier of Soviet leagues, Dynamo was promoted into the second one, where it played 6 years. 1988-89 and 1989-90 seasons remained the highest achievement of Dynamo in the Soviet period. In 1992, the team was disbanded.
The Kharkivski Akuly were established in 2008 as an amateur ice hockey club, taking part in the Open Championship of Kharkiv and Kharkiv Oblast, winning the local championship itself in 2011.[2] Following this, the team became a founding member of the Professional Hockey League of Ukraine, placing 6th in the eight-team inaugural season. Following the season, the team opted to revert to amateur play and focus on acting as a junior hockey team; acting as a farm team for HC Dynamo Kharkov.[3]

Babchuk has 1 goal and 1 assist, Khalin has 2 assist.[5][6][7] Vladislav Hurko hit the top 5 goaltenders of the Division I B (4th position, 93.03 Sv%).[8]
