==History==

===1955–1992: the Soviet era===
The Torpedo were founded by Nikolai Konyakhin in 1955.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.kazzinc-torpedo.kz/history/ | title=History Of Foundation |publisher=Kazzinc-Torpedo |language=russian |accessdate=April 20, 2013}}</ref> Konyakhin was a former ice hockey player and he had experience of playing for a youth team of the [[Moscow region]]. Father and son Konaykhin's have initiated the foundation of the amateur team at the [[Ulba Metallurgical Plant]]. [[Ice Hockey]] was a new kind of sport for the factory guys and they started to train and play on the ice of [[Ulba River]] in winter. By that time, the factory workers were avtively playing [[association football|football]] and [[bandy]]. Both teams were calling '''Torpedo'''. The new hockey team was named '''Torpedo''', too.

In 1957, they firstly participated at the [[Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic|Kazakh SSR]] Hockey Championship in [[Almaty|Alma-Ata]]. Also, it was the first official tournament for Torpedo Ust-Kamenogorsk. They won silver medals at this championship. It was first and last silver medals at the National Championships, because next years they were unbeaten before the 1964. In 1964, Torpedo debuted at the [[Soviet Hockey Championship]]'s Class B. The team coached by Olympic medalist and multiple champion of USSR [[Yuri Baulin]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ba/yury-baulin-1.html | title=Yuri Baulin's Biografy |publisher=Sport-Reference.com |date= |accessdate=April 20, 2013}}</ref> His management led to promotion to Soviet Hockey Championship's Class A2. In 1966–67 season, they were runners-up and lost only to [[Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg|Avtomobilist Sverdlovsk]].

In 1977, Torpedo relegated to Soviet Hockey Championship's Class A3. However, three years later they have returned to Class A2 Division. That team has coached by Valentin Grigoriev and formed only by own hockey school graduates. In the early 1980th, team headed by local coach [[Viktor Semykin]]. Young manager has gathered new powerful squad. Team have included the most famous local graduate [[Boris Alexandrov]], who returned from [[HC CSKA Moscow|CSKA Moscow]] to hometown. He has become famous all over the world after his competing at the [[Super Series '76]] with the team [[HC CSKA Moscow|CSKA Moscow]] and scoring against [[New York Rangers]], [[Montreal Canadiens]] and [[Boston Bruins]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.edgekz.com/hockey-in-kazakhstan-passion-and-success.html |author=Michael Jacobsen and Colin Berlyne| title=Hockey in Kazakhstan: Passion and Success |publisher=Edge Magazine |date= |accessdate=April 3, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFKi10uksKc |author=| title=Boris Alexandrov Goals At The Super Series '76 |publisher=[[YouTube]] |date= |accessdate=April 3, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Super Series ’76: Habs vs. CSKA|url=http://insidehockey.com/super-series-%E2%80%9976-habs-vs-cska|accessdate=April 3, 2013|date=|publisher=InsideHockey.com|author=Joseph Franko}}</ref> In 1986, erupted a conflict between Semykin and players and Semykin was sacked. Further, team management have assigned [[Vladimir Goltze]], as a new head coach. He has promoted the team to [[Soviet Hockey Championship|Soviet Hockey Championship's]] Class A. It was the team's first experience in its history. It is noteworthy, [[Boris Alexandrov]] was the best goalscorer at the first round of championships. However, it's not helped to gain a foothold and they relegated to Class A2 Division, again. One season later, they have returned to highest division. Next years, they competed at the highest Class A Division three seasons in a row, before the [[dissolution of the Soviet Union]].

===The post-Soviet era===
[[File:Kazzinc-Torpedo.svg|thumb|right|Logo used as Kazzinc-Torpedo.]]
After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the team kept up much of its momentum, despite losing many of its players and coaches to Russian teams.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Hockey Town Grapples With Changing Times|url=http://www.eurasianet.org/node/65978|date=September 28, 2012|accessdate=April 3, 2013|language=|publisher=Eurasianet.org|author=Keith Mellnick}}</ref> From 1992 to 1996, Torpedo competed at the [[International Hockey League (1992–1996)|International Hockey League]], which replaced [[Soviet Hockey Championship]]. In 1993, Torpedo joined the newly created [[Kazakhstan Hockey Championship]], where they would play in parallel to their participation in [[International Ice Hockey League (1992–1996)|International Hockey League]]. In 1992-93 season, they qualified to play-off, but lost to [[SKA Saint Petersburg]] in preliminary round. The team had big financial problems and the [[Ulba Metallurgical Plant]] was unable to sponsor them. [[Vladimir Goltze]] was fired and [[Boris Alexandrov]] replaced him. Alexandrov combined his coaching duties with playing role. He led to victory at the [[Rudi Hiti Summer League]] in 1994. In 1994-95 season, Torpedo reached the play-offs, but lost to [[Krylya Sovetov Moscow]] in the preliminary round again. In 1996, the [[International Ice Hockey League (1992–1996)|International Hockey League]] was disbanded.

In 1996, Torpedo was admitted into the Russian hockey system. Torpedo joined the [[Supreme League of the Russian Ice Hockey Championship]], the second highest level after the [[Russian Superleague]]. In 1998, the [[Kazakhstan men's national ice hockey team|Kazakhstan national team]] competed at the [[1998 Winter Olympics|Winter Olympic Games]] in [[Nagano]]. The team was composed entirely of players from Kazzinc–Torpedo and coached by [[Boris Alexandrov]]. Journalists called them "The team of one locker room." It was an unexpected result for many people, when they ranked first at the groupe stage after defeating [[Italian national ice hockey team|Italy]] and [[Slovakian national ice hockey team|Slovakia]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Final Olympic Men's Hockey Standings|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/olympics/events/1998/nagano/results/standings.hockey.men.html|accessdate=April 3, 2013|date=February 22, 1998|language=|publisher=[[CNN]]|author=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Kazakhstan 5, Italy 3 |url=http://media.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/sports/longterm/olympics1998/sport/hockey/articles/italy8.htm|accessdate=April 3, 2013|date=February 7, 1998|language=|publisher=[[Washington Post]]|author=}}</ref>
