#Salavat Yulaev Ufa

New Quiz (an excuse to give the new "Word Search" quiz type a try)!

[mmmitchmmmarner]

Rodion Amirov Cup

The tournament of youth teams in UFA is named in honor of Rodion Amirov. The preseason tournament has been named after the pupil of Salavat Yulaev, the talented and bright striker Rodion Amirov, who passed away on August 14, 2023. Two years ago, the young player was diagnosed with a serious brain tumor. Rodion fought the disease to the end and was determined only to win in all his endeavors. He will forever be in our hearts and be an inspiration to young hockey players. Amirov is a shining example of fortitude, courage and professionalism. He is the pride of the Salavat Yulaev hockey club.

156) Kudey, Кудей, Көҙәй) - starożytne plemię Baszkirów, część północno-wschodnich Baszkirów. Według legendy Kudeanie pochodzą z Kaukazu i Azji Środkowej. Pochodzenie klanu Szaitanów jako części plemienia Kudei wskazuje również na ugrofińskie korzenie tego plemienia. Na Uralu osiedlili się nad rzekami Ik i Menzel, gdzie zmieszali się z plemionami Usergan, Tangaur i Burzyan. W XIII-XIV wieku Kudejczycy przenieśli się na lewy brzeg rzeki Belaya, gdzie zostali poddani silnym wpływom Kypsaków. Pod koniec XIV wieku Kudeanie zajęli oba brzegi środkowego biegu Belaya. Wraz z intensyfikacją ekspansji Nogai na przełomie XIV i XV w., część Kudejczyków osiedliła się na terenach leśnych w dolnym biegu rzeki Ufa, gdzie zmieszali się z Mincami; druga część kierowała się w górę rzeki Sim, a później do rzek Yuryuzan i Lemezu. Przedstawiciele plemienia Kudei byli jednym z przywódców powstania baszkirskiego w latach 1735–1740, Tulkuchura Aldagulov, a także baszkirskim bohaterem narodowym Salavat Yulaev. 7 lutego 2020 r. Kudeya yiyn zebrał się po raz pierwszy od XVIII wieku w mieście Minjar w obwodzie czelabińskim.

absolutely zero pressure but. would love to hear your essays abt kirill & ilya sometime

ok so! actually it's not very long but i just simply love their friendship,,,, and their hard work to be recognized as hockey players. that really makes me go 🥺.

they're both late round picks (sorokin was select third round, 78th overall and kaprizov as you know 135th overall). they did the hard work, taking their time in the KHL, to become the superstars that they are now. thats HUGE mentality right there.

as you can see, low drafted russians owns my heart (nikita kucherov)

also in CSKA Moscow they were the main reason the team finally won the Gagarin Cup in 2019. see, there wouldn’t be a gagarin cup for cska if it wasn’t for them, quite literally, and we’re talking about a club that exists for like 74 years and won a lot of stuff in the soviet times BUT ever since the gagarin cup exists (since 2008) the only time they won was in 2019...

when kirill kaprizov and ilya sorokin were with the club. also they’re both olympic gold medalist i mean thats just #bff behaviour. also these pictures:

them playing with the Kuznetsk Bears from Novokuznetsk, the city kaprizov was born and lived. it’s an junior league associated w ex khl team now in the VHL Metallurg Novokuznetsk. they basically started their hockey career together, and who would have thought that someday they would win the gagarin cup, the olympic gold and be in the NHL few years later??? thats #bff things .

it’s cute because they weren’t from the same team yet (ilya was in cska, but i believe kaprizov was either with the Salavat Yulaev Ufa or w home team Metallurg Novokuznetsk)

hello??

height difference. this is important for a good friendship to exist.

and ofc the newer pics of them returning to cska... its so cool. so amazing. i love them.

anyway i believe this is all from my mini ted talk. i love them and i love their friendship and hockey career and ahhh! wish just the best for them <3

Possibly the cutest KHL photo of all time -- Salavat Yulaev goalie Juha Metsola and his little girl, post-game.  The photo, by Rustem Akhunov (with thanks to @RUSProspects for that info), won an award in a contest run by Canon about a year ago.  (Image Source)

Love Dallas' new third uniform because it reminds me 👀

[csykora]

Every now and then I see a post go around when someone learns what a KHL team’s name means, so I thought I’d put together a translated list. Like football in the UK, lotta KHL teams started among labor unions and factory workers, and then the baroque weirdness of Russian history happened to them, so all their names are gold.

I’ve taken some liberties with how pluralization etc works in favor of the spirit

Dinamo Riga The Riga Generators. (A dynamo is a machine that uses rotating coils and magnets to turn mechanical energy into electricity.)

Dynamo Moscow The Moscow Generators

Jokerit Helsinki The Helsinki Jokers/Jesters/Clowns

Severstal Cherepovets Cherepovets Northern Steel

originally named Stroitel, the Builders, and then Metallurg. Now they just use the name of their sugar-company. While most of these teams were founded by or or in reference to industries, Severstal is directly owned by Severstal, which is why we all have to look at this:

jersey design is my passion

SKA Saint Petersburg Sports Club of the Amy of Saint Petersburg, founded by military officers

Spartak Moscow The Moscow Spartans 

CSKA Moscow Central Sports Club of the Army of Moscow, founded by military members

Dinamo Minsk you may be pickin up a theme

Lokomotiv Yaroslavl The Yaroslavl Trains

Slovan Bratislava The Bratislava Slavs  

They did name their bald eagle mascot Harvy, though, which is pretty cool

Note: I originally wrote this some time ago with a joke about how the teams might have expired by the time I post it. Pour one out for Slovan, they’re in a happier(?) place in the Slovak League now

HK Sochi   Sochi Hockey Club

Every team can be called “HC/HK ____” to differentiate them from the cities’ football teams. You could say “Slovan” or “HC Slovan” for clarity. Sochi forgot the ____.

Vityaz Moscow Oblast/Vityaz Podolsk The (Fairytale) Knights

The team currently plays in the city of Podolsk, outside the ring of the city of Moscow but still in Moscow Oblast, the larger province. They’ve moved around a bit in Moscow Oblast, although they’re settling in well now, so it’s not inaccurate to generalize that they’re from “Moscow”

A vityaz of bogatyr is a hero on a quest, akin to King Arthur’s chivalric knights. Founded by MMA fighters.

Ak Bars Kazan Kazan White Leopard

The team uses a snow leopard, but “ak bars” refers specifically to the coat of arms of Tatarstan, a legendary white cat with wings

 Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg The Yekaterinburg Drivers

This might seem like a boring name, until you learn that it replaced a club named Dinamo Energija Yekaterinburg, the Generator Electricity

Metallurg Magnitogorsk Magnitigorsk Metalworkers (as in the English word ’metallurgy’) or we could translate more comfortably as Steelers, founded by steel mill workers.

Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk  Nizhnekamsk Petrochemists, founded by petrochemical factory workers.

Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod The Nizhny Novgorod Torpedos

Traktor Chelyabinsk The Chelyabinsk Tractors.

Founded by workers in the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant, this is the team people usually discover and giggle about a bit, which itself is fun, because this is a bait-and-switch boring name that’s actually got some intimidating heft behind it, because the Tractor Plant mostly didn’t make tractors. It made approximately 18,000 T-34 Chelyabinskaya tanks.

Admiral Vladivostok Vladivostok Admirals

Amur Khabarovsk Khabarovsk is the city, the Amur is a nearby river

Avangard Omsk The Omsk Vanguard.

The vanguard (from “advance guard”) is the leading edge of a military formation as they move into battle. American-English speakers seem to pronounce the name as “avant-garde”, which means exactly the same thing but has a real different connotation

Barys Astana The Astana Leopards

This is from the same root as Ak Bars, but without the “white” refers to a real snow leopard. I’m not sure the folks involved know this: hopefully they believe snow leopards are mythological animals

(The text is Cyrillic designed to look sorta like Arabic script)

Salavat Yulaev Ufa Ufa is the city, Salavat Yulaev was a folk hero/political leader/poet of Bashkiria in the 1700s. 

Sibir Novosibirsk New Siberian City Siberias

Red Star Kunlun  北京崑崙鴻星 or Běijīng Kūnlún Hóngxīng

Hóng is red, xīng is star, they play in the city of Běijīng, Kūnlún refers to崑崙山 Kūnlún Shān. Side note but I've always likes this grammatical feature and the connotations of this word in particular because the way pluralization works, shān is anything from a lonely hill or whole range or, as you travel west into Central Asia, “THE WORLD IS MADE OF MOUNTAIN NOW”

so that’s the KHL
