The team of Széchenyi István University, UNI Győr ETO HC, has won Hungary’s second-division ice hockey championship, the Andersen League for the 2025–26 season. In the best-of-three final, the Győr side successfully defended their title for the second time in a row against Lehel HC.
Heading into the weekend match in Jászberény, UNI Győr ETO HC held a 2–1 advantage, having won the first game in Győr 4–0, then suffered a narrow 5–4 defeat away, followed by a 5–2 victory at home. Before the match, two scenarios were possible: if Széchenyi István University’s team won again, they would be crowned champions; if they lost, a decisive final clash would be required.

ETO quickly made it clear that they had travelled to Jászberény to win: after successfully fighting off a two-man disadvantage in the first period, they strengthened their mental edge and took the lead through Martin Sági. The second period saw rapid exchanges of goals, with Martin Sipák, Bence Dézsi and Dániel Csölle scoring for Győr, while Ádám Trozsák and Zsolt Rőczei found the net for Lehel. The teams thus entered the final period with ETO leading 4–2. In the closing stage, the green-and-whites sealed not only the match but also the championship: goals from Bence Makovics, Márk Almási and Barnabás Dézsi secured a 7–2 away victory.
