BOULDER, Colorado -- Dynamo Moscow is currently the best bandy club in the world, according the the latest ratings (including matches from October 16-November 1) by the website bandynet.ru. Just behind the Moscow club sit Zorky Krasnogorsk and Kuzbass Kemerovo.
The highest ranked team from outside Russia is Sweden's Edsbyns IF, which finished second in this year's ExTe World Cup to Dynamo. Finland's Tornea PV topped all other Finnish clubs at #20 despite losing all three matches in Ljusdal. Stabaek Bandy, also winless at the tournament, was ranked the top Norwegian club at #40.
All 21 teams from the Russian Bandy League made it into the top 50. Dynamo-Syktyvkar received the lowest rating, finishing 47th. Baikal-Energia's disappointing pre-season has them mired in the 15th spot, with nine Russian clubs ranked ahead of them.
The rankings, conducted last season by the Krasnoyarsk-based website RedYarsk, were begun this fall by Bandynet. They are based mostly on the performance of each club during the two-week period of the ranking.
This weekend: the final leg of the Russian Cup!
