history
The national ice hockey team of the CIS was founded in 1992 to represent the United Team , a selection of athletes from the member states of the Commonwealth of Independent States , at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville . First, the team played three friendly matches against Austria , Canada and Italy in January 1992 . The national team then took part in their preparation for the Olympic Games in the Nissan Cup in Switzerland , where they surprisingly lost 3-0 to the host, the Swiss national ice hockey team , in the finals.
The Winter Olympics were finally dominated by the CIS team, which achieved seven wins in eight games and suffered only one defeat (a 3: 4 against Czechoslovakia ). Eventually the team became Olympic champions with a 3-1 final victory over Canada.
