Hockey off-season is coming to an end, the rosters of almost all teams have been formed - somewhere already completely, somewhere the last coordination is being completed. In the news, it remains to wait only for point shifts, or exchanges between clubs. What awaits Traktor Chelyabinsk for the 2018-2019 season? Will the team retain its bronze roster?

Beginners

The Yuzhnouralsk club does not have superfinancial opportunities to invite excessively "expensive" hockey players. Therefore, their tactical "games" during the summer contracting looked very interesting. The first high-profile purchase was the May acquisition of Alexander Bergstrom. Then new composition Tractors for the 2018-2019 season was supplemented by Nikita Khlystov and Alexander Sudnitsyn, Ryan Stoa, Anton Glinkin and Evgeny Lapenkov.

Pavel Francouz, the former number one, went to conquer Colorado. And, apparently, Vasily Demchenko now claims the title of chief at the gate. But the newly acquired Sudnitsyn, who is in a brilliant physical form. Five clean sheets played by him last year - excellent proof.

The layout of the links

The practically approved roster of HC Traktor for the 2018-2019 season allows you to think about the tactical arrangement of the players during the match. The most likely groupings of players will be as follows:

• The first link will probably remain with the four legionnaires. Bailen as a defender, Shchekura - top scorer club last season, Gyunge - distinguished himself in the playoffs. But the departure of Videll should only benefit the team game, because Berstrem played with Gunge in the Swedish national team, his skate is sharper and his speed on ice is impressive.
• In the second link of the "old" there will be only a pair of defense - Ryasensky and Nikitin. How the rest of the players will be placed is still unknown. Main coach German Titov said that he wanted to try different variants, including adding Anton Glinkin to the Kravtsov-Sharov combination, or completely pushing Sharov aside and strengthening Vitaly Sharov as a Stoa legionnaire so that he would roll out the scorer, as Kirill Kaprizov once did. If this move works, a new young star will shine in the hockey sky.
• The third and fourth links are already clean water divination. Rotation is expected in both defensive pairs and forward combinations. Whether three centers will be withdrawn at the same time, which of them will have to change their role, who will be changed to newcomers, is still unknown. The first options will appear only after the Governor's Cup, which will start in just a few days. It is quite possible that the team's mentor will decide to put several test combinations on the ice in order to identify the most successful ones at the tournament and assess the level of training of each hockey player.

Important! For Traktor, the tournament of the 2018-2019 season will most likely also consist of target matches - when the composition of the team becomes clear during the game.

The team finished last season by playing matches according to the 13+7 scheme. Considering that two players under 20 years old must be indicated in the application for participation (and there are plenty of them in Traktor 2018 2019), high rivalry among young players is expected. Isaev showed himself well last year, accelerating towards the end of the season, while Mamaev, on the contrary, shone in the first half of the championship. Participants of the Youth World Cup 2018 Alekseev and Shepelev probably dream of showing themselves and not sitting on the bench all year.

expectations

The composition of HC Traktor for the 2018-2019 season is in no way inferior to the past. On paper, he even wins something. The retired players managed to be replaced with equal performance. The team is expected to score bright hockey. And the club's defense remained on high level. It would be nice to find a defender with a spectacular shot, and if there are transitions inside the KHL in 2018-1019, then Traktor will most likely take aim at such a hockey player.

Chelyabinsk will undoubtedly compete with the top clubs, and quite seriously. But will this be enough to stop being good middle peasants and get ahead? Club fans hope that under the guidance of Titov, who knows his business, all problems will be solved and the season will be successful!

Black, white 1947 - 1953 - "Dzerzhinets"
1953 - 1958 - "Vanguard"
1958 - ... - "Tractor"

History

As you might guess, "Traktor" got its name, as it was founded on the basis of the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant in 1947. True, the first names of the team were "Dzerzhinets" and "Vanguard". The club began to be called "Tractor" from the 1958/59 season.

In the first season, the Chelyabinsk club won the right to play in the first group of "A" class teams. For the first time, Traktor managed to get closer to the leaders in the 1954/55 season, when the club took fourth place. In 1972, Chelyabinsk residents managed to become the finalists of the Spengler Cup. A year later, Traktor reached the final of the USSR Cup. IN decisive match the Chelyabinsk team played with CSKA and even led during the meeting with a score of 2:0, but in the end lost with a score of 5:2. Medals of the USSR Championship ended up with Traktor in the 1976/77 season, when the team won bronze medals. Traktor hockey players often fell under the banner of the national team with which they won world championships and the Olympic Games.

After the formation of the MHL, Traktor managed to become a bronze medalist twice in the 1992/93 and 1993/94 seasons. In the 1999 season, Traktor flew to major league, and managed to return to the elite only in the 2005/06 season.

The regular season of the first draw of the KHL in the 2008/09 season began for Traktor really well. The Chelyabinsk team has been in the top ten for a long time, but it did not end the championship so well and took twelfth place in the regular championship. In the first round of the playoffs "Tractor" went to Mytishchi "Atlant". The Moscow Region team turned out to be head and shoulders above the Chelyabinsk team, winning in three matches with a total score of 13:2.

The next season turned out to be difficult, primarily due to financial difficulties in the team. Traktor's budget was cut by thirty percent, causing the club to leave a number of its leaders, including best player last season Oleg Kvasha. Despite the fact that “Tractor” scored only sixty-four points, the club still managed to get into the playoffs. In the first round, the Chelyabinsk met with the Magnitogorsk “Metallurg”, which they lost with a score of 3:1. And already in the 2010/11 season, Traktor did not manage to get into the playoffs at all with the same sixty-four points.

In the 2011/12 season, Traktor was, perhaps, the main discovery. In the summer, the Chelyabinsk club had a fruitful transfer campaign, managing to sign such star players as Bulis, Chistov, Garnett and Kontiola. Starting the regular championship neither shaky nor rolls, “Tractor” with each subsequent match showed more and more confident hockey. For many fans, the conquest of the Continental Cup by the Chelyabinsk team was a real shock. “Tractor” scored one hundred and fourteen points, ahead of the St. Petersburg SKA just one credit point. In the first round of the playoffs, the rival of the Chelyabinsk team was the Khanty-Mansiysk "Ugra", which managed to win only one match out of five. And the third match of the series will be remembered by many, when the “Tractor” managed to win 7:6, losing during the match 2:6. Then "Tractor" met with the Kazan "Ak Bars", but the two-time winner of the Gagarin Cup fell under the onslaught of Chelyabinsk. An exhausting series with the Kazan team played its part in the Eastern Conference finals, where Traktor lost to Avangard Omsk in five games. At the end of the season, Traktor won bronze medals for the first time since 1994.

In the 2012/13 season, the Chelyabinsk club managed to retain Evgeny Kuznetsov, whom many have already proposed to the NHL. The Tractor finished the regular season in third place in the Eastern Conference. In the playoffs, Traktor won the Eastern Conference Cup and reached the Gagarin Cup final for the first time. On the way to the first final in the history of the Chelyabinsk club, they beat: Barys Astana (4-3 series score), Avangard Omsk (4-1 series score) and Ak Bars Kazan (4-3 series score). ). In the final of the Gagarin Cup, the “tractor drivers” played against the Moscow “Dynamo”, which they lost in a stubborn series with a score of 2-4, thereby winning silver medals for the first time in their history and an honorable second place in the championship of the Continental Hockey League. This result was the best in the history of the Chelyabinsk team.

But Traktor failed to hold on to the leading positions. In the summer, the team was seriously updated, and not in better side. As a result – “Tractor” failed to break into the playoffs, finishing in nineteenth place in the overall standings of the regular season.
