Name

The MHL club's name must not be same as their affiliated Kontinental Hockey League club's name. So the former name of the team Salavat Yulaev-2 was changed. There were some variants of new junior club name. Fans were invited to vote for Akbuzat, Bashkir Bees and Tolpar, but club's board decided to give the name Tolpar.
