I made this list a while back for reference purposes to see how teams officially present their names in both Russian and English, since there are a lot of variations online due poor translation or westernization of the name format/syntax.
The issue of the team names (i.e. "HC Sibir" vs "Sibir Novosibirsk" etc) has been discussed many times on individual team pages (e.g.
Talk:HC Sibir Novosibirsk), but interstingly, never here. I think it is time that reach a consenus on a consistent team name format and then follow that on all KHL-related pages. My proposition: all team names follow the format <nick name> <city>, e.g. "SKA Saint Petersburg" or "Dinamo Minsk". The alternative would be the rather eclectic mixture of team name formats as proposed mainly by Lvivske (see above).

Firstly, using eliteprospects or eurohockey as sources doesn't fly, as they just pick and choose as they wish. Hockeydb on the other hand, inverses the names to make them more north american. The reality is the teams themselves don't use that format and that's the issue here. Using en.khl.ru as a source is fine, but bear in mind they couldn't even get the real name to the MHL right, it's often just poorly translated or rushed. How do the teams unquestionably, officially refer to themselves in English? Well I've compiled all the refs above. What I want to avoid here is using "common use" as for team names when we're the ones who invented common use, we shouldn't be influencing these unofficial nicknames into general English usage at all.
Here are some examples of issues that can arise: HC Donbass calls themselfes 'HC Donbass' in all English language use down to their English logo; yet some sites want to call them 'Donbass Donetsk' to 'Westernize' the name. Then we have HC Vityaz who moved from Chekhov to Podolsk, yet this line of thinking changed "Vityaz Chekhov" to "Vityaz Podolsk" even though the team officially never changed their name, logo, materials, etc. - they were always HC Vityaz. We shouldn't be influencing or making up fake names to suit our feels.--Львівське (

Just to point out since I'm doing more looking, but the en.khl site calls Vityaz "Vityaz Moscow Region" (but says they're located in Chekhov, so it's wrong too) but the russian version of the page calls them "Vityaz (Moscow)"; meanwhile their official site calls them HC Vityaz and their social media uses "HC Vityaz Podolsk". I think, more than anything, this shows we need to look at things on a case-by-case basis and not just the en.khl.ru site as a sweeping solution.--Львівське (

But here we have exactly the problem: so what would we do in the Vityaz case? I think Lvivke's collection of case-by-case studies only shows that it leads to nowhere. Instead, it would require 28 sometimes quite arbitrary decisions. Better to stick with one source, and there I see no other choice than
en.khl.ru.

Actually, on most of the collection examples the team's have it set fairly unanimous (namely if they use HC or not as a prefix), especially if they have an English language website.--Львівське (

I am sorry, but when I look at your list, I see mostly problematic/ambigous cases. They will 1) require too many decisions which will often be arbitrary and 2) are almost impossible to maintain/keep up to date.

I am more in favour of the case-by-case analysis as well since the teams' administration knows better than the KHL how to call their team. This is similar to the problem of the English naming of the
MHL - the KHL calls it the Youth Hockey League, while the league itself calls it the Junior Hockey League. In my opinion JHL should be used. More on the issue
here. --

My preference would be to use the names provided by the KHL website as well as the official websites of the individual teams. The process for naming the teams should be objective, not subjective. --Hockeyben(talk -contribs)02:13, 6 November 2013 (UTC)reply
How about this as a solution: Use KHL English site only for teams that have no established English language policy/site. Teams like CSKA who only conduct themselves in Russian and never in English, go with the KHL site; but teams like Lev Praha (not 'Lev Prague') and HC Donbass who have English sites, merchandise, stores, logos etc. allow the team's official policy on the matter take precedence. --Львівське (

I noticed that user Chelsea changed the years in the table to 2008 for every team, other users have previously wanted to keep the year the team joined the league, with the KHL acting as a successor to the RSL and Soviet leagues. Anyone have an opinion on this?--Львівське (

It would be nice to maintain the teams in the table ordered by their championship results (i.e. by the number of times a team finished 1st, then 2nd, then 3rd etc.), so that all-time performance can bee seen. It makes sense to carefully calculate position for a team to determine its place in the table.

The question is more, how the teams should be ordered? I tried (my edit yesterday) with a point system (Gagarin Cup 16pts, finalist 8, semi-finalist 4, quarterfinal 2 and first round 1 point). Another option would be a system like with the olympic medals (first number of wins, then number of finalists etc). Or some kind of "all-time standings" with just the points accumulated in all seasons. But with the current ordering I cannot see any system. E.g.: why is Amur ahead of Lev?

In the infobox Netflix is listed as a TV partner. I can't find any reference to that anywhere, but, I may not be looking in the right place. Can anyone enlighten me?
