In a dominant display of skill and consistency, the hockey players from the CSKA sports school, representing the 2009 birth year, have been crowned champions of Russia. The tournament, held in the city of Ufa, concluded with the Moscow-based army team successfully defending the title they won the previous year.
The championship final saw CSKA face off against the team from Severstal, hailing from Cherepovets. In a competitive match, CSKA emerged victorious with a final score of 5-3. This win was the culmination of a flawless campaign, as the young army men navigated the entire national championship without suffering a single defeat.
The goals that sealed the championship victory were scored by a talented quintet of players: Dmitry Savin, Gleb Olkhovik, Gleb Zhukov, Artem Mishin, and Daniil Ermolov. Their contributions on the ice were instrumental in securing the gold medals for their club.
This latest triumph is not just a standalone achievement but part of a remarkable and historically significant dynasty. The CSKA team of the 2009 vintage has now won the top all-Russian competition in their age group for an incredible six consecutive years. This unprecedented streak began with three consecutive victories in the prestigious Tretiak Cup in 2021, 2022, and 2023.
Following that hat-trick of cup wins, the squad seamlessly transitioned their dominance to the Russian Championship itself, capturing the national title in 2024, 2025, and now 2026. This six-year run of supremacy at the national level is a unique historical achievement in the annals of Russian youth hockey.
The team's success is credited to the coaching leadership of Mikhail Deev, who has guided these young athletes to sustained excellence. The victory in Ufa reaffirms the strength of the CSKA hockey development system, which continues to produce winning teams year after year.
