The Swedish men's national ice hockey team

The Swedish men's national ice hockey team, or Tre Kronor ("Three Crowns" in Swedish), as it is called in Sweden, is one of the most successful ice hockey teams in the world. The name Tre Kronor means "Three Crowns" and refers to the three crowns on the team jersey. The three crowns represent the smaller national coat of arms of the Kingdom of Sweden and the national emblem. At the 2006 Winter Olympics, they won the gold medal after a thrilling final against Finland, with 3-2 as a final score. In the same year, Sweden won the final against the Czech Republic and became the first hockey team ever to win at both the Winter Olympics and the World Championships in the same year.
