HK SKIF Nizhny Novgorod (Russian: ХК СКИФ Нижний Новгород) were a Russian professional ice hockey team in the Zhenskaya Hockey League (ZhHL) until 2022, at which time their league rights were transferred to Hockey Club Torpedo and the team became ZhHK Torpedo. HC SKIF played in Nizhny Novgorod at the KRK Nagorny.[1] SKIF won the Russian Championship in women's ice hockey twelve times, three more wins than any other team, and won the IIHF European Women's Champions Cup in 2009 and 2015.[2]

The team was founded in Moscow in 1995 as Luzhniki Moscow. They were subsequently known as CSK VVS Moscow (1996–1998), Viking Moscow (1998–2000), and SKIF Moscow (2000–2006). In 2006 the team moved from Moscow to Nizhny Novgorod and were renamed SKIF Nizhny Novgorod.

History

Following the 2021–22 ZhHL season, SKIF Nizhny Novgorod made the decision to leave the ZhHL in favor of handing over the team, including all obligations to the players and league, to HC Torpedo.[3] HK SKIF retained all results from previous seasons, including twelve championship victories and four European Women's Champions Cup (EWCC) medals.[4]
