Russian hockey has its roots firmly in Soviet-era hockey. The Soviet Union dominated international hockey in the 1970s and 1980s when it won gold in six out of seven Olympics from 1964 to 1988. Many of the former Soviet players went on to play for their independent countries following the breakup of the USSR in the early 1990s.
Russia's national team played its first Olympic ice hockey game in 1956 at Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, but failed to win a medal until 1992, the year in which they won silver at the Albertville Games. They continued to build on their success, winning bronze in 2002 and 2010, and winning gold in 2018.
In the most recent Winter Olympics held at Pyeongchang in South Korea, the OAR ice hockey team managed to reach the quarterfinals before being eliminated by Norway. Despite this loss, they put up an impressive performance with several talented players, including top-shelf scorer Ilya Kovalchuk and goaltender Vasili Koshechkin.
One of the standout players for the Russian team over the years has been Igor Larionov; he was instrumental in many of the Soviet Union's successes in the '70s and '80s. He later became a key player on the Detroit Red Wings championship team in 1997 and 1998.
Another famous name associated with Russian hockey is Alexander Ovechkin. Ovechkin is one of the greatest scorers of all time in the NHL, having scored over 700 goals during his career. He's helped to lead Russia to numerous international titles and has won multiple awards for his performance on the ice.
Overall, the Russian Olympic Hockey Team has played a significant role in the growth of hockey across the globe. Despite its ups and downs over the years, the team continues to be a force to be reckoned with and will undoubtedly continue to leave an impact on the sport for years to come.
