The '''German National Team''' represents [[Germany]] in international competitions.  
The '''German men's national ice hockey team''' is the national [[ice hockey]] team of [[Germany]] and is controlled by the [[German Ice Hockey Federation]]. It first participated in serious international competition at the 1911 [[Ice Hockey World Championships#IIHF European Championships|European Hockey Championship]]. When Germany was split after [[World War II]], a separate [[East Germany men's national ice hockey team]] existed until 1990. By 1991, the West and East German teams and players were merged into the United German team.
 
Germany has won several medals at the [[Ice Hockey World Championships|World Championships]], including three silver medals in [[1930 Ice Hockey World Championships|1930]], [[1953 Ice Hockey World Championships|1953]] and [[2023 Men's Ice Hockey World Championships|2023]], as well as a silver medal at the [[Ice hockey at the 2018 Winter Olympics|2018 Winter Olympics]], the team's biggest success in the 21st century.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pyeongchang2018.iihf.hockey/men/news/happy-medal-winners/ |website=[[International Ice Hockey Federation]]|date=15 August 2018|title=Happy medal winners}}</ref>


==History==
==History==
Germany first competed in an international event at the [[Ice Hockey European Championship 1910|1910 European Championship]] held in Les Avants. They enjoyed much of their international success at the European Championships prior to [[World War I]], claiming the silver medal three times officially. The [[Ice Hockey European Championship 1912|1912 European Championship]], in which Germany came in second to Bohemia, was annulled after several protests by the German squad.  
===West Germany===
The West German team's greatest success came in 1976 at the [[Ice hockey at the 1976 Winter Olympics|Winter Olympics]], when the team went 2–3–0 and won the bronze medal. The Swedish and Canadian teams, traditionally two hockey powerhouses, had boycotted the 1976 Games in protest of the amateur rules that allowed Eastern Bloc countries to send their best players while keeping Western nations from doing the same.
 
West Germany's wins in the 1976 Games came against the United States (4–1) and [[Poland men's national ice hockey team|Poland]] (7–4).
 
In 1980, the team didn't do as well and only won one game in the preliminary round, which kept them from advancing. They finished 10th out of 12.
 
In 1984, the team was invited to the [[1984 Canada Cup|Canada Cup]]. By 1991, the reunification of East and West Germany meant the inclusion of players from the former [[East Germany]].
 
===Post-unification===
The team is not considered to be as elite as [[Canada men's national ice hockey team|Canada]], the [[Czech Republic men's national ice hockey team|Czech Republic]], [[Finland men's national ice hockey team|Finland]], [[Russia men's national ice hockey team|Russia]], [[Sweden men's national ice hockey team|Sweden]] or the [[United States men's national ice hockey team|United States]]; they are ranked 9th in the world (2022) by the [[IIHF]]. Since re-unification, their best recent results include finishing 6th place at the 2003 World Championships where they lost a close quarter-final match in overtime to Canada, and 4th at the 2010 World Championships where they lost to Sweden in the bronze medal game. Previously, they finished third in the European Group and qualified for the quarter-finals at the [[1996 World Cup of Hockey|1996 World Cup]] after a surprising 7–1 victory against the Czech Republic. In the [[Ice hockey at the 1992 Winter Olympics|1992 Olympics]], they lost to Canada 4–3 in an overtime shoot-out in the quarter-finals.
 
Germany has never won an international competition, and their most recent medal was silver in the [[2018 Winter Olympics|2018 Olympic Winter Games]], when they lost to the [[Olympic Athletes From Russia]] 4–3 in overtime. It was the first time that Germany had reached the Gold Medal Game at the Winter Olympics. This was their best result, tied with a silver medal at the [[1930 World Ice Hockey Championships|1930 World Championships]].
 
There are 25,934 registered players in Germany (0.03% of its population).
 
Team Germany finished in 4th place at the [[2010 IIHF World Championship]], their best placement since 1953.

The German men's national ice hockey team is the national ice hockey team of Germany and is controlled by the German Ice Hockey Federation. It first participated in serious international competition at the 1911 European Hockey Championship. When Germany was split after World War II, a separate East Germany men's national ice hockey team existed until 1990. By 1991, the West and East German teams and players were merged into the United German team.

Germany has won several medals at the World Championships, including three silver medals in 1930, 1953 and 2023, as well as a silver medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics, the team's biggest success in the 21st century.[1]

History

West Germany

The West German team's greatest success came in 1976 at the Winter Olympics, when the team went 2–3–0 and won the bronze medal. The Swedish and Canadian teams, traditionally two hockey powerhouses, had boycotted the 1976 Games in protest of the amateur rules that allowed Eastern Bloc countries to send their best players while keeping Western nations from doing the same.

West Germany's wins in the 1976 Games came against the United States (4–1) and Poland (7–4).

In 1980, the team didn't do as well and only won one game in the preliminary round, which kept them from advancing. They finished 10th out of 12.

In 1984, the team was invited to the Canada Cup. By 1991, the reunification of East and West Germany meant the inclusion of players from the former East Germany.

Post-unification

The team is not considered to be as elite as Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, Russia, Sweden or the United States; they are ranked 9th in the world (2022) by the IIHF. Since re-unification, their best recent results include finishing 6th place at the 2003 World Championships where they lost a close quarter-final match in overtime to Canada, and 4th at the 2010 World Championships where they lost to Sweden in the bronze medal game. Previously, they finished third in the European Group and qualified for the quarter-finals at the 1996 World Cup after a surprising 7–1 victory against the Czech Republic. In the 1992 Olympics, they lost to Canada 4–3 in an overtime shoot-out in the quarter-finals.

Germany has never won an international competition, and their most recent medal was silver in the 2018 Olympic Winter Games, when they lost to the Olympic Athletes From Russia 4–3 in overtime. It was the first time that Germany had reached the Gold Medal Game at the Winter Olympics. This was their best result, tied with a silver medal at the 1930 World Championships.

There are 25,934 registered players in Germany (0.03% of its population).

Team Germany finished in 4th place at the 2010 IIHF World Championship, their best placement since 1953.
