The club was founded in 1932 and is the oldest sports club in Nizhny Novgorod.[1] The current name is from the 1960/61 season. In the period from 1951 to 1964, as well as in the 1970/71 season, he played in the zonal and final (1958, 1960, 1963, 1964, 1971) tournaments of the RSFSR championships. Since the 1964/65 season, he has been a regular participant in the USSR Championships (with the exception of the 1970/71 season). In the second group of class "A" of the USSR championship - 1964-1967, 1969/70, 1971-1973. In the first league of the championship of the USSR - 1974/75.

In the summer of 1965 there was a change of coach in the team. Georgy Sergeyevich Shtyrov went to work at the Lokomotiv Junior Sports School for football. "Start" was headed by his player, master of sports Yury Yefimovich Fokin, who a year before had arrived in Gorky from Alma-Ata. The arrival of the new coach, who had the experience of playing in the class of the strongest, as well as special education and enormous organizational skills, gave a new impetus to the development of the team. All the highest achievements of the team in the Russian (Soviet) bandy elite are directly connected with the name of the Honored Coach of the USSR and Russia Yury Fokin. It was under his leadership that "Start" won silver medals three times (in 1980, 1995 and 2002), three times (in 1996, 1998 and 2000) bronze medals and once the USSR Cup (in 1983). During Soviet times, Yury Fokin worked as the second coach in the national team of the country, and in the 2004 season - as the head coach of the Russian national team.[2]

Since the 1960/61 season, the team has found its current name - “Start”. According to the memoirs of the players of the team, it was established that one of its authors is the chairman of the council of the DSO Zenit of those years and just a passionate fan - Boris Tsivtsin. In addition, one season before the team was called "Trud".

These are Yury Gavrilov (three-time world champion), Alexandr Rychagov (two-time world champion, two-time silver medalist, bronze medalist), Vyacheslav Ryabov (the same achievements as Rychagov's, only, naturally, in different years), Oleg Chubinsky (two-time world champion, once - silver and bronze medalist, Alexey Dyakov (two-time world champion, silver medalist), Yuri Loginov (one set of "gold" and "silver", four - "bronze"), Alexandr Yevtin (silver and bronze medalist ), Yevgeny Goryachev (silver medalist), Andrey Begunov (silver medalist), Vladislav Novozhilov (two-time bronze medalist).

From the 2007/08 season for seven seasons, Start was headed by his former player, two-time world champion Alexey Dyakov. One of the best scorers in the history of Nizhny Novgorod bandy 16 seasons spent in Sweden, received citizenship there. His brilliant game for the clubs Nässjö and Motala made Dyakov widely known not only in Russia, but also in Scandinavia.

Since the 2014/15 season, the coaching staff has changed in the team. Eduard Saxonov, who previously worked with Start-2, became the head coach. His teammates of the 1990s - the beginning of the 2000s Vyacheslav Ryabov and Yury Loginov helped him. Chairman of the Board - Yury Yerofeyev. And from the middle of the 2015/16 season, Igor Chilikin was the head coach of Start. In that season, the team took the highest place in its “newest” history - the 7th.[3]
