History
Before Slovenia's independence, Slovenian hockey players played for the Yugoslavia national team. From 1939, when Yugoslavia took part in its first World Championship, to 1991, when the country disintegrated, 91% of all Yugoslav national team members were Slovenes, including the entire squad that represented Yugoslavia at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo.[3]
Slovenia declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, and joined the International Ice Hockey Federation the following year.[4] They first played as an independent nation at the 1993 World Championship, hosting the Group C tournament, the lowest tier.[5] They played in the elite division for the first time in 2002,[6] and at their first Winter Olympics in 2014.[7]
