This team is not to be confused with
the original Khimik Voskresensk team which relocated and was replaced by in 2005. Because it was an expansion team, it was relegated to the
Russian Supreme League prior to its success in the
2007–08 season and subsequent promotion to the
KHL. It would last there for a year. In July 2009, the team went bankrupt. However, later it was reported that the team would play in the
Russian Major League in the 2009–10 season. The team was not accepted into the 2010–11 season of the
Russian Major League and the league's management suggested that the team take a 1-year timeout. The team management decided to participate in the
MHL in the 2010–11 season under the name
MHC Khimik. In June 2015, the team was accepted into the
VHL for the 2015–16 season. ==Honors==
