History
The team was founded in 1947 and was known under the abbreviations ODO (Okruzhnoy Dom Ofitserov), SKVO (Sportivnyi Klub Voennogo Okruga) and eventually SKA (Sportivnyi Klub Armii).[3] In 1999, after Neftyanik had qualified for the highest division, the two clubs merged to become SKA-Neftyanik. SKA played in the elite division of Soviet bandy ever since 1954.[citation needed]
Since the 2013–14 season the team plays at the indoor arena, Arena Yerofey.[4] In the 2016–17 season the club became Russian champion for the first time.[5] The club colours are red, yellow and black.
