The Kazakhstan men's national ice hockey team is controlled by Kazakhstan Ice Hockey Federation. Kazakhstan is currently ranked 16th in the world. In their first Olympic Games in 1998, the Kazakhs were able to win their preliminary group, surprising many, and would finish the tournament in 8th place. Their head coach is Andrei Nazarov. Unlike most European countries, the national team officially began competing against other nations as a member of the IIHF in the 1993 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships, one year after being admitted into the federation.[1]
Since the country's independence in 1992, a total of 27 players have been drafted into the NHL.[2] (note: link does not include Evgeni Nabokov, Anton Khudobin, Maxim Kuznetsov, Maxim Birbraer, Konstantin Barulin, Alexander Perezhogin, Dimitri Pätzold and Pavel Vorobiev.[3] These players play internationally elsewhere). However Vitali Kolesnik, who was never drafted, had a brief stint with the Colorado Avalanche.[4]
The national team has played at the Championship level 7 times (1998, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016 (qualified)).
The hockey system of Kazakhstan is ranked 12th best in Europe.[5]
The team is the most successful team at the Asian Games, winning it three times, and are the current highest ranked Asian team.
