    We had a strong start to the year and continued with excellent performances. We kicked off the season by winning the inaugural Romanian Supercup with a golden goal after a 3\u20133 draw in regular time. Next, we triumphed in the Romanian Cup Final Four in Sf\u00e2ntu Gheorghe, defeating Corona Bra\u0219ov 3\u20130 in the final. In the Romanian national championship\u2019s Final Four, we once again played for gold\u2014and won it, beating our biggest rivals, Corona Bra\u0219ov, 2\u20131.<\/p>

    Gyergy\u00f3 Hockey Club made history three times in one season. We claimed the first-ever Supercup, won the Cup for the first time, and became national champions for the first time as well.<\/p>

    In the Erste League, we entered the playoffs from second place. We first defeated DVTK Jegesmedv\u00e9k in a 4\u20131 series, followed by another 4\u20131 victory over Corona Bra\u0219ov in the semifinals. The final was against our long-time rivals, SC Cs\u00edkszereda. We won the first two games, then they equalized the series, but from there, we showed our strength once again. After winning Game 5 in Gyergy\u00f3szentmikl\u00f3s, we lifted the trophy on the road.<\/p>

    This meant that Gyergy\u00f3 Hockey Club won every possible trophy in the 2024\u20132025 season. Our success was no coincidence\u2014the numbers speak for themselves: this season we defeated Corona Bra\u0219ov eleven times and SC Cs\u00edkszereda ten times.<\/p> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t <\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    We entered the Erste League playoffs in 3rd place and advanced past \u00dajpest with a 4\u20130 series sweep. In the semifinals, we once again faced Corona Bra\u0219ov, but that year they proved to be the stronger team and moved on to the final. Based on our performance in the regular season, Gyergy\u00f3 Hockey Club was awarded the bronze medal.<\/p> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t <\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

    The 2022\u20132023 season was a milestone year for Gyergy\u00f3 Hockey Club. Under the leadership of head coach Zolt\u00e1n Szilassy, we remained in contention for the top spot in the Erste League regular season until the very end, ultimately securing second place heading into the playoffs.<\/p>

    In the postseason, we first swept Duna\u00fajv\u00e1ros with a 4\u20130 series win. Next came a dramatic semifinal clash with Corona Bra\u0219ov, which went down to the wire. After a tense battle, we emerged victorious with a 4\u20133 series win, earning our place in the final.<\/p>

    The championship series against FTC-Telekom was equally intense. We had to fight back from 0\u20132 and then 1\u20133 deficits, showing incredible resilience. In a thrilling Game 7 on home ice, we won 2\u20131\u2014crowning Gyergy\u00f3 Hockey Club as Erste League champions!<\/p> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t <\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    That was the season when we came truly close to reaching the Erste League final for the first time\u2014but the pandemic intervened. In the first round of the playoffs, we swept Corona Bra\u0219ov, then faced Ferencv\u00e1ros in the semifinals. After the two games in Budapest, the series was tied 1\u20131, but by the time we returned home, we could only put a severely depleted team on the ice, playing out of sheer determination. By Game 4, we no longer had enough healthy players to continue, and we were forced to forfeit the series.<\/p> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t <\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
