Spain men's national ice hockey team

Background

Spain joined the IIHF on 10 March 1923 after the Spanish Winter Sports Federation was founded that same year. Following the construction of an artificial rink in Madrid, Spain entered its first international tournament in late 1923, winning its first game against Belgium in the Challenge de Haute–Garonne tournament in Bagnères-de-Luchon, France, before losing to France. In 1924, Spain competed in the Ice Hockey European Championships in Milan, Italy; during the first game against Switzerland, two of Spain's seven players were injured, leading Switzerland to agree to play with only five players, and Switzerland won 12–0.

Spain forfeited its second game against Sweden due to those injuries, despite Sweden also agreeing to play with five players. After the European Championships, Spain entered the Coupe de Davos in Davos, Switzerland, where they had upset Switzerland 4–0 days before. In the tournament, Spain lost to Switzerland 6–0 and to Germany 7–0, lost to Germany's second team 2–0, but beat Italy 4–0 to avoid last place.

On 1 January 1925, Spain beat Germany's second team 3–1 in double overtime, then went on a Swiss tour winning three games. In January 1925, Spain played in the Challenge de Haute–Garonne again, defeating Belgium's second team 4–1 and tying France 3–3. In 1926, Spain competed in the European Championships in Davos, losing to Belgium 5–0 and Czechoslovakia 9–2, then tying Italy 2–2 and losing to Poland 4–1 in the consolation pool.
