at the A Pool championships held in Montreal
. Their first game was an 18-1 loss to the Soviet Union. Switzerland was relegated to the B Pool, but were promoted back to Pool A after posting a 4-0 record with wins over Holland, Denmark, Italy, and France. This began a consistent cycle of relegation and promotion, and Switzerland did not win their first A Pool game until 1991
when they defeated Norway 2-1 to avoid relegation.
Switzerland's presence in the A Pool became more consistent after the IIHF changed its format to include a medal round after the round-robin in 1995. The new format allowed 2 new teams to join Pool A, which were Slovakia and Switzerland. In 1998
, the Swiss won their first-ever quarter-final game over Sweden in a shootout, thanks to stellar play from goaltender David Aebischer
. The team lost 2-1 to Finland in the semi-finals but rebounded to win the bronze medal with a 4-3 win over the Czech-Republic. In 2002
, Switzerland upset Slovakia in a shootout in the quarter-finals on the back of great play from goaltender Tobias Stephan
. Switzerland lost to Canada in the semi-finals, and faced Finland in the bronze medal match. The Swiss were optimistic, having recorded a 3-0 win over Finland in their opening game of tournament, but they lost the match 5-1 for a 4th place finish.
Switzerland was relegated in 2008 along with Denmark. Switzerland hosted the 2009 Div I tournament and were promoted back to Pool A.
In the 2010 tournament
Switzerland earned a spot in the quarter-finals against a heavily favored Russia. The Swiss pulled off a major upset by beating the Russians 3-2 in overtime. Nino Niederreiter
scored twice in the game, including the OT winner. Switzerland lost 6-1 in the semi-finals to Canada and then 11-4 to Sweden in the bronze medal match for a 4th place finish, their highest since the 2002 tournament. The lopsided score was the highest margin of victory in a medal game since the new format took place in 1995. In an interesting twist, Switzerland was originally to host the 2010 tournament, but withdrew their application due to fear of being relegated based on their poor performance in recent tournaments. The host city was rumored to be Bern or Lugano
.
It has been rumored that Switzerland is considering applying to host the 2014 World Junior Hockey Championships.
