The Liechtenstein national ice hockey team () is the national men's ice hockey team of Liechtenstein. The team is controlled by the Liechtenstein Ice Hockey Federation and has been an associate member of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) since 4 October 2001. Liechtenstein is currently not ranked in the IIHF World Ranking and has not entered in any IIHF World Championship events.
History In 2001, Liechtenstein was first admitted to the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) as an associate member. However, there are currently no ice rinks in Liechtenstein. In 2003, the national team played its first international game, a friendly game against Luxembourg, losing 7–1. They again played Luxembourg in 2007 in another friendly, losing 4–2.
In the summer of 2021, the national team was successfully reactivated. As a result, in May 2022, Liechtenstein participated for the first time in the IIHF Development Cup in Füssen, Germany, an international tournament for national teams that cannot participate in IIHF World Championships. After victories against Ireland (7–6), Portugal (3–0), Algeria (11–2), and Andorra (8–4), and a loss against tournament winner Colombia (1–3), they finished in second place among six teams.
Players The majority of the Liechtenstein national squad play for the principality's only adult club, EHC Vaduz-Schellenberg. Others play for the only youth club or are Liechtenstein citizens living abroad.
