The Russian national ice hockey team , also called Sbornaja ( Russian Сборная (shortened from Сборная команда ), in German: selection (team) ), represents Russia in international ice hockey tournaments and is one of the best national teams in the world. After the 2017 World Cup , she is ranked second in the IIHF world rankings and, as the legal successor to the Soviet national team, is the sole record world champion with 27 titles (22 of them from the days of the USSR ) .

history

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union , the Russian selection initially failed to continue the successful streak of the Soviet era. After winning the World Cup in 1993 , she remained without a medal for the next nine years. The greatest successes from this time were winning the Izvestia Cup (1992/93 to 1995/96), the Baltica Cup (1999/00, 2000/01) and the Rosno Cup (2004/05). After Vyacheslav Bykov took over the coaching position in 2006, Russian ice hockey took off and won the World Cup in both 2008 and 2009 . Under coach Sinetula Biljaletdinow you could win the 2012 World Cup. In 2014 Oleg Snarok took over the team and again led them to the world title.
