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