Kristall was founded in 2006 on the basis of the Research and Production Center "Polyus" for the participation at the Saint Petersburg Championship and Cup. Since 2011, Kristall is playing in the national elite division. Also in 2011, Kristall won the OBSL Grand-Prix Winter. In 2012, Kristall joined the holding company NOVA Group, leading to the popularization of the club throughout Russia.[1] Kristall became runner-up at the Russian Championships and third-place finisher at the Russian Cup. The next year the Petersburg club improved by winning the OBSL Grand-Prix Spring and the Russian Championships, although they failed to defend the OBSL Grand-Prix Winter Cup.[2]
