Hockey Club Sibir Novosibirsk Oblast (Russian: XK Сибирь, English: Siberia HC), also known as HC Sibir or Sibir Novosibirsk, is a Russian professional ice hockey team based in Novosibirsk. They are members of the Chernyshev Division in the Kontinental Hockey League.

History

Sibir (Siberia) Novosibirsk was formed in 1962 when Dynamo Novosibirsk and Khimik Novosibirsk merged into a single team. During the first decades of its history Sibir was subsequently relegated between the elite and second rate divisions of the Soviet and Russian hockey championships until it finally settled in the Superleague since its 2002-03 season.

After the KHL formation the team had to change 50% of its roster. Starting with 2009-10 season the head coach position was taken by Andrei Tarasenko, a former Novosibirsk forward and a father of the club's young winger Vladimir Tarasenko, who led Sibir to its first Gagarin Cup playoffs in 2011.

Before the 2013-14 season Sibir changed its full name from Sibir Novosibirsk to Sibir Novosibirsk Oblast.^[1]
