HK SKIF Nizhny Novgorod (Russian: ХК СКИФ Нижний Новгород) were a Russian professional ice hockey team in the Zhenskaya Hockey League (ZhHL) until 2022, at which time their league rights were transferred to Hockey Club Torpedo and the team became ZhHK Torpedo. HC SKIF played in Nizhny Novgorod at the KRK Nagorny.[1] SKIF won the Russian Championship in women's ice hockey twelve times, three more wins than any other team, and won the IIHF European Women's Champions Cup in 2009 and 2015.[2]

The team was founded in Moscow in 1995 as Luzhniki Moscow. They were subsequently known as CSK VVS Moscow (1996–1998), Viking Moscow (1998–2000), and SKIF Moscow (2000–2006). In 2006 the team moved from Moscow to Nizhny Novgorod and were renamed SKIF Nizhny Novgorod.
