Season summary

edit

Almost two months after being officially admitted to the KHL, Lev announced the signings of its first five players on 30 June 2011. In the final roster, the majority of the players were from Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Head coach was Radim Rulik and the team captain was Lubos Bartecko. Lev's regular season was planned to start on 10 September 2011 with a match at home against Avangard Omsk,[1] but because of the 2011 Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plane crash, the start of the season was postponed and Lev had their first game on 12 September against Metallurg Magnitogorsk. However, for their first win they had to wait until the sixth game, a 2–0 away win against Dinamo Riga on 26 September. Lev also failed to qualify for the play-offs and ended the season as 21st overall, with 54 points from 54 games. The team's top scorer was Lubos Bartecko with 30 points (16 goals and 14 assists).
