The Luxembourgian national ice hockey team represents the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg at ice hockey. Luxembourg is currently ranked 43rd by the International Ice Hockey Federation.
The team plays in the colours of the national flag: red, white, and light blue. The squad is coached by Swede Håkan Grönlund and captained by Ronny Scheier. Several national team players play for teams in Canada, Finland, France, and Germany.
In the 2007 World Championships, Luxembourg finished third in Division III, narrowly missing out on promotion to Division II after being defeated 4-3 by hosts Ireland in overtime. Luxembourg has never competed in ice hockey at the Olympics.
