TheCzechoslovakia men's national ice hockey team was the nationalice hockey team ofCzechoslovakia, and competed from 1920 until 1992. The successor to theBohemia national ice hockey team, which was a European power prior toWorld War I, the Czechoslovak national team first appeared at the1920 Summer Olympics, two years after the creation of the state. In the 1940s, they established themselves as the best team in Europe, becoming the first team from the continent to win two World Championships (1947 and 1949). After the arrival of theSoviet Union on the international hockey scene in the 1950s, the Czechoslovaks regularly foughtSweden andCanada for silver and bronze medals, and sometimes beat the Soviets. In total, they won the gold medal six times.
Due to the split of the countryCzechoslovakia into the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the team was replaced in 1993 with theCzech and theSlovak national teams. TheInternational Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) recognized the Czech national team as a successor of Czechoslovakia national team and kept it in the top group, while the Slovak national team was entered into the lowest level, Pool C, winning promotion in successive years to join the elite division in 1996.
