Red Army

The HC CSKA Moscow is one of the sports teams to bear the CSKA Moscow name, and is perhaps better known as the "Central Red Army," due to its past affiliation with the Soviet Army.  It's history dates back to 1946 and they have won several championships prior to the formation of the KHL in 2008.  They play in the Bobrov Division, and feature players such as Alexander Radulov, Viktor Kozlov, Aleksey Morozov, and captain Sergei Shirokov.  CSKA is best known for having featured prominent lines such as the KLM (Krutov, Larionov, and Makarov) line in the early 1980's and the Bure-Mogilny-Fedorov line of the late 1980's.
