1928 Polish national ice hockey team

Poland has been represented by 18 goaltenders and 136 skaters in men's ice hockey tournaments at the Olympic Games. The men's tournament was introduced as a demonstration sport at the 1920 Summer Olympics, and made a permanent sport when the Winter Olympics began in 1924. The Polish national team has participated in thirteen tournaments, first in 1928 (team pictured) and most recently in 1992. Poland has never finished higher than fourth at the Olympics, which they achieved at the 1932 Winter Olympics, when only four teams participated. Hilary Skarżyński has scored the most goals for Poland, with nine, while Andrzej Fonfara and Andrzej Zabawa have had the most assists, with seven each. Zabawa and Wiesław Jobczyk have each recorded fourteen points, the most of any Polish player. Henryk Gruth and Jerzy Potz have competed in the most Olympics, having each taken part in four tournaments, while Gruth has played the most games of any skater, with twenty-four. (Full list...)
