The Estonian men's national ice hockey team is ranked 27th in the IIHF world rankings after the 2019 World Cup and plays in Division I at the World Cup. The national team is organized by the Estonian ice hockey association Eesti Jäähoki Liit .
history
In 1937 the Estonian national team played their first international match against Finland and played a few more friendly matches until 1940. The national team was then disbanded, and during the USSR a national team from the Estonian SSR played at the Winter Spartakiads instead . In November 1992, Estonia returned to the international ice hockey scene as an independent country again.
In 1994 the team took part in an ice hockey world championship for the first time , but so far has not been promoted to the highest division. Before the Olympic Winter Games in 2006 and 2010 , the Estonians failed in the qualifying tournaments.
At the 2008 World Cup , the team finished sixth in Group B of Division I, which was held in Sapporo , and was relegated to Division II for the second time since 2001 . The sought -after ascent failed in 2009 due to a 4-5 defeat after penalty shootouts against Serbia . After repeated promotion and relegation between divisions I and II, the 2015 World Cup made it possible to stay in division I for the first time since 2007.
