Amur Khabarovsk (Russian: Амур Хабаровск) is a Russian ice hockey team playing in the Continental Hockey League. They are based in Khabarovsk and named after the Amur river. The location in the Russian Far East gives the team a distance of over 3000 km to its nearest neighbour in the league, Metallurg Novokuznetsk.
Despite being a perennial cellar-dweller in the Russian Super League, Amur Khabarovsk enjoys one of the best attendances of clubs playing in European leagues. In the 2006-2007 IIHF ranking of fan attendances, Amur was the 13th team on the list (third in the Russian league) with an average home crowd of 7,100 – which means that the Platinum Arena is sold out for every league game.[1]
