South Korea men's national ice hockey team The South Korean national ice hockey team is the national men's ice hockey team of the Republic of Korea . They are currently ranked 16th in the IIHF World Rankings and competed in the World Championship top division tournament . The team's most successful campaign thus far was a second-place finish in the 2017 Division I Group A tournament and thus qualifying for the top division in 2018 . They competed in their first Winter Olympics in 2018 in Pyeongchang as the host nation.History South Korea first participated in the World Championship in 1979 , playing in Pool C , the third level of the tournament. They did not return until 1982 , again in Pool C, and became a regular participant in 1986 . They remained at the Division I level, the second tier of the World Championship, from 2010 until 2017, when they earned a promotion to the 2018 World Championship . Upon being named the host country for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, the South Korean team began efforts to steadily improve themselves in order to be competitive with the other teams expected at the tournament, led by the efforts of Korea Ice Hockey Association president Chung Mong-won . Several North American players playing for teams in South Korea were offered South Korean citizenship , thus allowing them to play at the Olympics. This was done to help the team perform better in the lead-up to the Olympics, which proved successful: when awarded the Olympics in 2011 , the South Korean team was ranked 31st in the IIHF World Ranking , while on the eve of the Olympics had moved up to 18th.Tournament record Olympic Games 2018 – 12th placeWorld Championship 1979 – 25th place 1982 – 24th place 1986 – 25th place 1987 – 26th place 1989 – 23rd place 1990 – 25th place 1991 – 24th place 1992 – 26th place 1993 – 25th place 1994 – 30th place 1995 – 33rd place 1996 – 33rd place 1997 – 30th place 1998 – 31st place 1999 – 30th place 2000 – 29th place 2001 – 30th place Promoted to Division I 2002 – 27th place Relegated to Division II 2003 – 29th place Promoted to Division I 2004 – 27th place Relegated to Division II 2005 – 33rd place 2006 – 31st place 2007 – 30th place Promoted to Division I 2008 – 28th place Relegated to Division II 2009 – 29th place Promoted to Division I 2010 – 25th place 2011 – 22nd place 2012 – 23rd place Promoted to Division I A 2013 – 21st place 2014 – 22nd place Relegated to Division I B 2015 – 23rd place Promoted to Division I A 2016 – 21st place 2017 – 18th place Promoted to Top Division 2018 – 16th place Relegated to Division I A 2019 – 19th place 2020 – Cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic 1986 – 3rd place 1990 – 3rd place 1996 – 4th place 1999 – 4th place 2003 – 4th place 2007 – 3rd place 2011 – 3rd place 2017 – 2nd place Current roster Roster for the 2018 IIHF World Championship .
