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 team is controlled by the Swedish Ice Hockey Association, and it is considered a member of the "Big Six", along with Canada, Russia, USA, Finland and the Czech Republic.
The name Tre Kronor means "Three Crowns" and refers to the three crowns on the team jersey. The three crowns represent the lesser national coat of arms of the Kingdom of Sweden and the national emblem. The first time the symbol was used on the national teams jersey was on 12 February 1938, during the World Championships in Prague. At the 2006 Winter Olympics they won the gold medal after a thrilling final against Finland, with the score 3-2.
At the 2006 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships, Sweden won the final against Czech Republic and thus became the first hockey team ever to win at both the Winter Olympics and the World Championships in the same year.

But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.””
