I never noticed they were trying to be a hockey power. They've been an IIHF member since 1974 and they have been at the World Championships D Pool on a few occassions. Usually it's a home for Russian players of jewish ancestry to play after they have outlived their star power in Russia.
There was a CBC documentary in Canada several years ago about a group of Russian Jews from Montreal donating equipment with some Muscovites in Tel Aviv to help develop minor hockey in Israel.
