The German national men's ice hockey team first participated in serious international competition at the 1911 European Hockey Championship. When Germany was split after World War II, the hockey team was also split into the West German national ice hockey team and the East German national ice hockey team. By 1991, the teams were replaced by the current German team controlled by the Deutscher Eishockey Bund.
The team is not considered to be as elite as Canada, Sweden, Slovakia, the USA, the Czech Republic, Finland or Russia, but they are ranked 12th in the world by the IIHF. The team has not been able to break through in the past few years. Their best recent result was 6th place at the 2003 World Championships where they lost a close quarter-final match in overtime to Canada. Also they finished in 5th at the 1996 World Cup after a surprising victory against the Czech Republic.
Germany has never won an international competition, and their most recent medal was a bronze in the 1934 World Championships. Their best result was a silver medal at the 1930 World Championships.
There are 25,934 registered players in Germany (0.03% of its population).
In December 2005 Uwe Krupp became head coach.
