History

[edit]

The team formed in 2007 to play in the Pervaya Liga. They finished in 14th place in the Ural–Western Siberia Zone. Next season, they joined the Kazakhstan Hockey Championship. Squaded by junior players, they finished in last place in their first season of play. Next season, they qualified for the playoffs for the first time. Strengthened by players from the Barys Astana, they reached finals. However they lost to Beibarys Atyrau in four games in series.

On 31 May 2019 it was announced that Nomand would be leaving the Kazakh league, and would be joining the VHL for the 2019-20 season.[4] Alongside Nomand, Dynamo Tver, Torpedo-Gorky Nizhny Novgorod and Uzbekistans's Humo Tashkent would also be joining the league.[5]

On January 13 Nomad won their first ever IIHF continental cup in the Vindico Arena in Cardiff, Wales after defeating the hosts the Cardiff Devils 5-2 and Herning Blue Fox 7-2. [6]
