It's actually Drogon - the black one with orange eyes
Is there any information about their roster?
English team: Ice Guard (red, black, gold uniforms like a palace guard), Ice/Royals/Lions, Sweepers (old fashioned chimney sweep holding a hockey stick)
So their roster is finally clear as the have played first game already. Mostly Russian guys, some of them VHL stars even (Pechursky, Yachmenyov) and around 8 Chinese guys I have no clue about. Can't be bothered to look them up in Cyrillic.
World is safe now
At the time roster on eliteprospects only had Russian players, I guess it took them awhile to figure out those Chinese dudes as well

Avangard Seahawks? Reminds me of Seattle's logo.
I'm not sure how much do you know but Nizhnekamsk is the very new factory town built almost from scratch around the petrochemical plant in the 60s. The "Celtic knot" logo was one of the concern owning the factory, you can read more about the concern itself and see what is still their logo here: Title | Corporate website PJSC "Nizhnekamskneftekhim" . Subsequently, the logo is also tied to a chemical process of some sort however I was given the explanation 4 years ago and forgot what is it exactly.I seemingly bought some game worn Neftekhimik jerseys. I am curious about more of the history of the area and team. There seems to be some type of Celtic knot on the jersey's shoulders and the back near the wordmark. I know it has other similar meaning for Nordic mythology and Germanic history but I am unsure of what it means here.

Now since we are talking about USSR times you could have never said back then there is some sort of religious symbolism in your logo but sometimes there was. Now I don't know if Celtic knot is used in Tatarstan and has some mythological meaning even if it does the creators of logo could have never said it even they knew full well what they are doing. At the same time, it can be just circumstantial and their intention really could have been just to illustrate some chemical process their life is built around. That's what the original explanation meant anyway.
Hope this helps some, maybe Atas can shed some light on this. There was a great 20-25 minute video about the city and the team made by KHL on youtube in 2014 when they ran series called "KHL cities" but it seems like it has since been removed. Maybe some Russian guys could find it on their local websites.
Perhaps you mean this video (only in Russian)
There's a relatively recently discovered polymerization process inspired by the Celtic knot structure which can produce very strong synthetic structures. Applications have primarily been in the medical industry but the process is being applied to other products such as tires, which is Nizhnekamsk's product base.I'm not sure how much do you know but Nizhnekamsk is the very new factory town built almost from scratch around the petrochemical plant in the 60s.
