The US national ice hockey team is the national team for the United States, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The team is controlled by USA Hockey. As of 2005 the US team was ranked 7th in the IIHF World Rankings. The United States won the silver medal at the 2002 Winter Olympics, and won the 1996 World Cup of Hockey. Their only recent medal at the World Championships came in 2004 with a bronze. At the 2004 World Cup of Hockey the US were unable to defend their 1996 title, losing to Finland in the semi-finals. The United States has a total of 485,017 registered players (0.16% of its population). Their current head coach is Peter Laviolette.

Team USA's greatest success was the "Miracle on Ice" at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, when they defeated the heavily favored Soviet Union on the way to a gold medal. Though hockey is not a universally popular sport in the United States, the "Miracle" is often listed as one of the greatest achievements in the history of American sports.^{[citation needed]}

US hockey peaked in talent in the 1990s with top NHL stars like Brett Hull, Jeremy Roenick, Brian Leetch, and Mike Modano and the US won the 1996 World Cup and earned a silver medal at the 2002 Winter Olympics. But by 2006, many of these All-Stars had retired or lost their skill with age. Though the 2006 Olympic Team finished a disappointing 8th place, it was more of a transitional team, featuring young NHL players like Rick DiPietro, Jordan Leopold and John-Michael Liles, and other young talents like Bobby Ryan, Phil Kessel, and Ryan Miller already have hockey analysts listing the United States as a strong medal contender for 2010.
