## History[edit]

MVD Moscow Oblast was founded in 1949 as Spartak Kalinin, and adopted its last name, MVD, in 2004 as part of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs and their move to Podolsk. In the same year, they qualified for the Russian Superleague play-off for the first time, losing to Ak Bars Kazan in a hard-fought series. In 2007, they moved again (this time to Balashikha) for the KHL size arena.

Since the season 2009–10 was formed the new team Sheriff Balashikha as a farm team of HC Dynamo Moscow in the newly created JHL.

In the season 2010/2011, after the unification of the basic commands HC MVD and HC Dynamo Moscow into the United Hockey Club "Dynamo" (Moscow), farm clubs of the same teams were also united and made their debut in the restructured Higher Hockey League VHL as part of the newly formed "Dinamo" (Tver), and the youth team, dubbed Sheriff Balashikha JHL, was moved to Tver to home arena the Ice Palace of sports "Jubilee".

In the season 2011/2012, both farm teams, the youth — renamed Dynamo Balashikha (in the VHL), and the junior hockey team, renamed HC MVD-junior (playing in the JHL), returned to the town Balashikha near Moscow with home ice Palace "Balashikha-arena". At this time in the Junior League, the team plays on the name of HC MVD.
