'''Hockey Club Atlant Moscow Oblast''' ({{langx|ru|ХК Атлант Московская область}}, {{langx|en|Atlas Hockey Club Moscow Region}}) was a Russian professional [[ice hockey]] team based in [[Mytishchi]], [[Moscow Oblast]]. They were members of the [[Bobrov Division]] of the [[Kontinental Hockey League]] in the [[2014–15 KHL season|2014–15 season]], but have not been active since the [[2015–16 KHL season|2015–16 season]] due to financial issues.

==History==

===Overview===
Atlant was founded in 2005 when a team (Khimik) based in [[Voskresensk, Moscow Oblast|Voskresensk]] was relocated to [[Mytishchi]]. The old team traced its history back to 1953. Immediate success allowed Khimik to play in the Championship of the Soviet Union. Leading the team was playing-coach [[Nikolay Epshtein]]. In three years, Khimik was graduated to the top league of the Soviet Union. Three [[bronze medal]] results between 1965 and 1984 were capitulated in 1989 when the team achieved silver under prestigious head coach Vladimir Vasiliyev, a major accomplishment for a team from a small town. More impressive is how much successful homegrown talent has come out of the Khimik system, with names including future [[Stanley Cup]] winners such as [[Igor Larionov]] and [[Valeri Kamensky]].

In the spring of 1998, the status of the team changed, representing not only the city of [[Voskresensk, Moscow Oblast|Voskresensk]] but also the entire [[Moscow Oblast]]. This event took place on their 45th anniversary. During the 2005–06 season, the team relocated within the Moscow Oblast, from Voskresensk to [[Mytishchi]]. Following this, the team changed its name to '''Atlant''', prior to its inclusion in the [[Kontinental Hockey League]] (KHL). Their new team logo features a [[Central Asian Shepherd Dog]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.aaum.ru/works/atlas/4/ |script-title=ru:Алабай |access-date=3 August 2010 |language=ru |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100701210702/http://aaum.ru/works/atlas/4/ |archive-date=2010-07-01 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===Recent history===
Atlant signed NHL goaltender [[Ray Emery]] to a single year contract on July 9, 2008. The deal was reportedly worth in excess of $2 million, plus bonuses.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=242925&lid=headline&lpos=secStory_main|work=TSN|access-date=13 May 2015|url-status=dead|title=Emery signs one-year deal with Russian team|archive-date=30 March 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120330161248/http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=242925&lid=headline&lpos=secStory_main}}</ref>

Atlant and Emery had several issues, including Emery attacking the team trainer<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/2009/01/28/emery_youtube/|work=Sportsnet.ca|access-date=13 May 2015|url-status=dead|title=Emery attack on YouTube|archive-date=4 June 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090604182303/http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/2009/01/28/emery_youtube/}}</ref> and his temporary refusal to return to the team after the KHL break over a contract dispute. Emery was upset that his pay was in [[ruble]]s that were not [[inflation]] protected.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?entryID=3892184&name=lebrun_pierre|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090210123817/http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?entryID=3892184&name=lebrun_pierre|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 10, 2009|title=Sunday roundup: Latest on Hawks, Hossa, Emery and Bruins' run|work=ESPN.com|access-date=13 May 2015}}</ref> He returned to the team shortly after <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/2009/02/10/emery_russia/|work=Sportsnet.ca|access-date=13 May 2015|url-status=dead|title=Source: Emery heads back to Russia|archive-date=4 June 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090604103539/http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/2009/02/10/emery_russia/|date=February 10, 2009}}</ref> to play the remainder of the season.
