Russian Bandy Super League. The regular season began on 7 November 2016, and the final was played on 26 March 2016, when
SKA-Neftyanik became
Russian champion for the first time.
In their last match of the regular season,
Vodnik Arkhangelsk played against
Baykal-Energiya. The loss apparently would make Vodnik facing a weaker team in the playoffs, therefore the team started to score own goals. Baykal-Energiya joined, apparently for fun. Vodnik won 11-9, with all goals scored in the match being own goals. The two teams are facing sanctions from the
Russian Bandy Federation.
