History

File:Slovenia VS USA at the IIHF World Hockey Championship 2008 (8).jpg]]

Before Slovenia's independence, Slovenian hockey players played for the Yugoslavia national team. From 1939, when Yugoslavia took part in its first World Championship, to 1991, when the country disintegrated, 91% of all Yugoslav national team members were Slovenes, including the entire squad that represented Yugoslavia at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo.{{cite web|url=http://sochi2014.iihf.com/men/news/slovenia-yugoslavia/|title=A Slovenian send-off|last=Manninen|first=Henrik|date=4 February 2014|publisher=IIHF|access-date=13 May 2017}}

Slovenia declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, and joined the International Ice Hockey Federation the following year.{{cite web |title=IIHF Member National Association Slovenia |url=https://www.iihf.com/dk/associations/1366/slovenia |publisher=IIHF |access-date=13 May 2022 |language=en}} They first played as an independent nation at the 1993 World Championship, hosting the Group C tournament, the lowest tier.{{cite web|url=http://www.iihf.com/iihf-home/the-iihf/100-year-anniversary/100-top-stories/story-42.html|title=Breakup of old Europe creates a new hockey world|year=2008|publisher=IIHF|access-date=13 May 2017}} They played in the elite division for the first time in 2002,{{cite web |last1=Mavrič |first1=Petra |title=20 let od sanjskega večera, ko Golica kar ni nehala doneti |url=https://siol.net/sportal/hokej/20-let-od-sanjskega-vecera-ko-golica-kar-ni-nehala-doneti-550520 |publisher=Siol |access-date=13 May 2022 |language=sl |date=21 April 2021}} and at their first Winter Olympics in 2014.{{cite web |last1=Uroševič |first1=Siniša |title=Slovenski hokejisti prvič po Sarajevu vrnili plošček na OI |url=https://old.delo.si/sport/hokej/slovenski-hokejisti-prvic-po-sarajevu-vrnili-ploscek-na-oi.html |website=Delo |access-date=28 May 2024 |language=sl-si |date=19 December 2013}}
