HC Lokomotiv is a member of the Tarasov Division and plays their home games in the city of Yaroslavl, Russia. The origins of the team date back to 1959, and they have gone through five different names, all of which incorporate the city of Yaroslavl into the name. They have been HC Lokomotiv since 2000 after changing from Torpedo Yaroslavl. More recently, Lokomotiv was in the news for a 2011 plane crash prior to their season opener against Dinamo Minsk, killing all on board except for a flight crew member. That tragedy forced Lokomotiv to sit out the 2011-12 season. Their current roster includes Vitaly Vishnevsky, Staffan Kronwall, and Curtis Sanford, and is coached by Tom Rowe.
