Nordic Games
The Nordic Games was the first international multi-sport event that focused primarily on winter sports, and was held at varying intervals between 1901 and 1926. It was organized by Sweden’s Central Association for the Promotion of Sports, and more specifically by Viktor Balck, a member of that association and one of the five original members of the International Olympic Committee. It was, in many ways, a precursor to the modern Winter Olympic Games, whose success was a contributing factor (along with the social and economic turmoil following World War I) to the Nordic Games's discontinuation in the 1920s.
Bandy was a part of the Nordic Games program starting with the inaugural 1901 edition. It was not held at the 1903 games, held in Norway. The tournament's often featured club teams, but the 1926 edition was played with geographically-based squads while national teams contested the 1922 tournament. Prior to the inception of the Swedish Championship in -, it was the most prestigious bandy competition for Swedish clubs.
Ice hockey events were staged at the 1922 and 1926 Nordic Games. Swedish teams were victorious both times.
