CSKA is one of the most successful teams in the history of professional sports. They won 32 Soviet championships during the Soviet League's 46-year existence, including all but six from 1955 to 1989 and 13 in a row from 1977 to 1989. Year 1955 ( MCMLV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays the 1955 Gregorian calendar) Year 1989 ( MCMLXXXIX) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link displays 1989 Gregorian calendar) Also 1977 (album by Ash. Year 1977 ( MCMLXXVII) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays By comparison, no NHL team has ever won more than five Stanley Cups in a row.

The IIHF European Champions Cup (ECC was an annual event organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation, which took place during a long weekend in early January They won all but two titles from 1969 to 1990, including 12 in a row from 1978 to 1990. Year 1969 ( MCMLXIX) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Year 1990 ( MCMXC) was a Common year starting on Monday (link displays the 1990 Gregorian calendar) Year 1978 ( MCMLXXVIII) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link displays the 1978 Gregorian calendar) The team's first coach was Anatoli Tarasov, who would later become famous as the coach of the Soviet national team. Anatoli Vladimirovitch Tarasov (Анатолий Владимирович Тарасов ( December 10, 1918 - June 23, 1995, both in Moscow Stats Leading scorers (Olympics World Championships Canada Cups 1972 Summit Series Sergei Makarov - 248 points Valery Kharlamov Tarasov coached the Red Army Team, either alone or with co-coaches, for most of the time from 1946 to 1975. Year 1975 ( MCMLXXV) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. The team's greatest run came under Viktor Tikhonov, who was coach from 1977 to 1996--serving for most of that time as coach of the national team. Viktor Vasilevich Tikhonov (Виктор Васильевич Тихонов born June 4 1930) was a prominent Russian Ice hockey player and Year 1996 ( MCMXCVI) was a Leap year starting on Monday (link will display full 1996 Gregorian calendar)
The Red Army Team was able to pull off such a long run of dominance because during the Soviet era, the entire CSKA organization was a functioning division of the Red Army. Taking full advantage of the fact that all able-bodied Soviet males had to serve in the military, it was literally able to draft the best young hockey players in the Soviet Union onto the team. There was a substantial overlap between the rosters of the Red Army Team and the Soviet national team, which was one factor behind the Soviets' near-absolute dominance of international hockey from the 1950s through the early 1990s. By the late 1980s, however, the long run of Red Army dominance caused a significant dropoff in attendance throughout the league. [1]
Not surprisingly, discipline was quite strict, especially under Tikhonov. His players practiced for as many as 11 months a year, and were confined to barracks throughout that time even if they were married. Barracks are living quarters for personnel on a Military post However, he mellowed somewhat after the collapse of the Soviet Union. [1]
CSKA has remained one of the strongest clubs in Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union, though it has yet to win a championship. Off the ice, the massive exodus of Russian players to the NHL hit CSKA particularly hard, in part because, as mentioned above, nearly all of the country's best players were on the roster. For a time in the late 1990s and early 2000s, it was briefly unofficially known as "the Russian Penguins" after the Pittsburgh Penguins bought an interest in the team. The Pittsburgh Penguins are a professional Ice hockey team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. [1]
One of the most feared lines in hockey history was the KLM Line of the 1980s. The name came from the last names of the three players, Vladimir Krutov, Igor Larionov, and Sergei Makarov. Vladimir Yevgenyevich Krutov (Владимир Евгеньевич Крутов born June 1, 1960 in Moscow, USSR now Russia is Igor Nikolayevich Larionov (Игорь Николаевич Ларионов born December 3, 1960 in Voskresensk, Soviet Union now Sergei Mikhailovich Makarov (Сергей Михайлович Макаров born June 19, 1958 in Chelyabinsk, Soviet Union, now Together with defensemen Viacheslav Fetisov and Alexei Kasatonov, they were known as the Green Unit because they wore green jerseys in practice.

All five players would be permitted to come to the NHL in 1989, with mixed results. Year 1989 ( MCMLXXXIX) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link displays 1989 Gregorian calendar) Krutov had the shortest NHL career, lasting only one season in Vancouver; Makarov (who won the Calder Trophy in 1990) and Kasatonov were out of the NHL by 1997; Fetisov and Larionov won the Stanley Cup twice together with Detroit before Fetisov retired in 1998; Larionov would win a third Cup with Detroit in 2002, before retiring from New Jersey in 2004.

CSKA played 36 games against NHL teams from 1975 to 1991 and finished with a record of 26 wins, 8 losses, and 2 ties. 34 of these games were played in Super Series, including a tour of North America in 1975/1976. The Super Series were exhibition games between Soviet teams and NHL teams that took place on each NHL opponents' home ice in North America from 1976 to A "clash of hockey titans" occurred in late-December 1975 through the early part of January 1976, giving birth to Super Series.

Another memorable game was played on January 11, 1976 against the Philadelphia Flyers, who at the time were the defending Stanley Cup Champions.

The Philadelphia Flyers are a professional Ice hockey team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The game was notable for an incident where, after an extremely hard body check delivered by Philadelphia's Ed Van Impe, the CSKA's top player, Valery Kharlamov, was left prone on the ice for a minute. Checking in Ice hockey is the act of physically keeping an opposing player in check. Ed Charles Van Impe (born May 27, 1940 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) is a retired Canadian professional Ice hockey player Valery Borisovich Kharlamov (Валерий Борисович Харламов January 14 1948 - August 27 1981 was a star Ice hockey player from the Soviet Union CSKA coach Konstantin Loktev pulled his team off the ice in protest that no penalty was called. Konstantin Loktev (born April 16, 1933 in Moscow, Soviet Union - 1998 was an Ice hockey player who played in the Soviet Hockey League They were told by NHL president Clarence Campbell to return to the ice and finish the game, which was being broadcast to an international audience, or the Soviet Hockey Federation would not get paid the fee that they were entitled to. Clarence Sutherland Campbell ( July 9, 1905 - June 24, 1984) was president of the National Hockey League from 1946 to 1977 They eventually complied and eventually lost that game 4-1.
CSKA Moscow alumni have made a large impact on the NHL; perhaps the largest impact came with the Detroit Red Wings of the mid-1990s. The Detroit Red Wings are a professional Ice hockey team based in Detroit Michigan, and current Stanley Cup champions Sergei Fedorov, Vladimir Konstantinov, and Vyacheslav Kozlov had established themselves as key members of the Wings when they were joined by Fetisov and Larionov, forming the Russian Five. Sergei Viktorovich Fedorov ( Russian: Сергей Викторович Фёдоров Sergey Viktorovich Fyodorov; born December 13 1969 in Vladimir Konstantinov (Владимир Константинов born March 19, 1967, in Murmansk, USSR) is a former professional hockey Vyacheslav "Slava" Anatolevich Kozlov (Вячеслав Анатольевич Козлов born May 3, 1972 in Voskresensk, U "The Russian Five" is the name of two separate but related units of five Russian Ice hockey players These five players would play an integral role in the Wings' consecutive Stanley Cup championships in 1997 and 1998. Dmitri Mironov joined the 1998 squad, following Konstantinov's career-ending injury on 13 June 1997; since Konstantinov was kept on the roster despite his injury, the 1998 squad marks the largest contingent of CSKA veterans (six) to win the Stanley Cup. Dmitri Mironov (born December 25, 1965 in Moscow, USSR) is a retired Russian Ice hockey defenceman.
