The Belarusian national ice hockey team is currently ranked 9th in the world by IIHF as of 2006. The team is controlled by the Belarus Ice Hockey Federation. Arguably, the greatest moment in Belarusian hockey history was the victory over Sweden in the Quarter-finals of the 2002 Winter Olympics, where the team ultimately finished fourth. Belarus has 2,850 players in their national pool (0.02% of the total population). Their coach, until 2006 was Glen Hanlon. He was succeeded by Curt Fraser.
