History

The team was founded in 1930 as Uralmash Sverdlovsk. In 2001 the club was refunded with the name EvrAz. In the 2005–06 season, EvrAz disappeared but in 2006 the club was refunded once again. Ural became the new main sponsor and the club was renamed Ural-UPi. A year later the name became Ural Yekaterinburg. In 2012 and 2013, Ural won the Super League, the second Russian division but didn't promote.
