The Hungarian Ice Hockey Federation (Hungarian: Magyar Jégkorong Szövetség, MJSZ) is the governing body of ice hockey in Hungary.[3] The federation was founded under the leadership of György Pásztor in 1988, when it separated from the Hungarian Ice Sports Association.[4][5][6] He felt that to improve ice hockey in Hungary, a stronger national league was needed, which required more youths, more arenas, and proper leadership.[7]
