Russia won the [[2008 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships|2008]], [[2009 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships|2009]], [[2012 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships|2012]] and [[2014 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships|2014 World Ice Hockey Championships]].

<small>Note: ome controversy exists over how many Olympic gold medals should be attributed to the Russian national team. The IIHF and Ice Hockey Federation of Russia consider Russia to have won gold at the Olympics twice, attributing the 1992 gold medal victory to the Russian national team as the immediate successor of the CIS team, as well as the 2018 gold medal by the Olympic Athletes from Russia. However, the International Olympic Committee does not recognize Russia as ever having won the gold medal in an Olympic tournament, as the 1992 and 2018 tournaments were won by athletes from the Unified Team and Olympic Athletes from Russia delegations, respectively, and not by a Russian delegation.</small>

The Russian men's national ice hockey team (Russian: Сборная России по хоккею с шайбой) is the national men's ice hockey team of Russia, overseen by the Ice Hockey Federation of Russia. The team has competed internationally from 1992 until it was provisionally suspended in 2022, and is recognized by the IIHF as the successor to the Soviet Union team and CIS team. Russia has been one of the most successful national ice hockey teams in the world and a member of the so-called "Big Six," the unofficial group of the six strongest men's ice hockey nations, along with Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, Sweden, and the United States.[1] The European nations of the Big Six participate in the Euro Hockey Tour, which Russia won nine times since 2005.[2]

Since the establishment of the team, Russia has participated in 29 IIHF World Championships tournaments and nine Olympic ice hockey tournaments, winning five world championships and one Olympic gold medal.

After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the International Ice Hockey Federation suspended Russia from all levels of competition on 28 February 2022.[3] In April 2022, the Federation banned Russia from participating in the 2023 IIHF World Championship.[4]

Tournament record

Olympic Games

The bronze medal winning Russian team at the 2002 Winter Olympics.

From 1956 to 1988, the Soviet Union national ice hockey team won seven gold medals, one silver medal and one bronze medal in nine appearances. The Unified Team at the 1992 Winter Olympics also won the gold medal. In 2018, they competed as the Olympic Athletes from Russia, and in 2022 as the Russian Olympic Committee.

Year Location Result
1994 Flag of Norway Lillehammer 4th place
1998 Flag of Japan Nagano Silver medal
2002 Flag of United States Salt Lake City Bronze medal
2006 Flag of Italy Turin 4th place
2010 Flag of Canada Vancouver 6th place
2014 Flag of Russia Sochi 5th place
2018 Flag of South Korea Pyeongchang Gold medal
2022 Flag of China Beijing Silver medal

Note: ome controversy exists over how many Olympic gold medals should be attributed to the Russian national team. The IIHF and Ice Hockey Federation of Russia consider Russia to have won gold at the Olympics twice, attributing the 1992 gold medal victory to the Russian national team as the immediate successor of the CIS team, as well as the 2018 gold medal by the Olympic Athletes from Russia. However, the International Olympic Committee does not recognize Russia as ever having won the gold medal in an Olympic tournament, as the 1992 and 2018 tournaments were won by athletes from the Unified Team and Olympic Athletes from Russia delegations, respectively, and not by a Russian delegation.
