The Canadian national ice hockey team is overseen by Hockey Canada. The team participates in international ice hockey competitions. The name "Team Canada" was christened for the 1972 Summit Series and has been frequently used to refer to the Canadian National Team ever since. From 1983 until 1998, Hockey Canada operated a standing national team that played a full season together all over the world against both national and club teams, whose purpose was to prepare for the Olympics. Since the NHL began shutting down for the Olympics, this team has been discontinued.

Canada has been one of the leading national ice hockey teams in international play, winning the 1972 Summit Series against the Soviet Union, four of five Canada Cups dating back to 1976, winning the 2002 Winter Olympics, three recent IIHF World Championships and the 2004 World Cup of Hockey.

Canada was able to win only four World Championships and no Winter Olympic Gold medals between 1954 and 1991 when the Soviet, Czechoslovak, and Swedish teams dominated. This was in part because Canada's best professional players were unable to attend these events as they had commitments with their respective National Hockey League teams, although it is noted that in 1998 Canada had an all-NHL professional team and still failed to win a medal, losing to both the Czech Republic and Finland in their final two games. Prior to 1977, professionals were not allowed to play in these events. Before the emergence of the Soviet Union, Canada dominated hockey, winning six out of seven golds at the Olympics before 1956 and 13 world championship gold medals before 1961. Canada has a total of 574,125 players (1.76% of its population) and the current coach is Pat Quinn.
