Dinamo Riga is an ice hockey club, based in Riga, Latvia, currently playing in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). It was founded on 7 April 2008 as a successor of a former hockey team with the same name, which ceased to exist in 1995. The club owners are Itera Latvija, Guntis Ulmanis (fifth President of Latvia), Viesturs Koziols (former director of Riga 2000), Aigars Kalvītis (former Prime Minister of Latvia), Aldis Pauniņš, Guntis Rāvis, and Juris Savickis. Kirovs Lipmans (the incumbent president of Latvian Hockey Federation) was also one of the founders, but he announced leaving this project shortly after the founding of the club. Július Šupler is the head coach of Dinamo Riga and he is assisted by the Slovak Miroslav Miklošovič and Latvian Artis Ābols. HK Riga 2000 of the Belarusian Extraliga and Latvian Hockey League was the farm club of Dinamo in its first season. Dinamo-Juniors Riga is the current farm club. On 30 July 2008, head coach Július Šupler announced that the team would be captained by Aleksejs Širokovs, with Matt Ellison and Atvars Tribuncovs as his alternates.[1] Over the course of the season, however, Širokovs turned the captaincy over to Rodrigo Laviņš, citing that it is too much pressure to be a captain. Sandis Ozoliņš is the current captain of the team, with his alternates being Aleksandrs Niživijs and Marcel Hossa. In December 2009, it was announced that 15 players from Dinamo Riga would be on the 2010 Olympic roster for Latvia's Ice Hockey team.[2]
