Akos Mihaly receives the Young Star of the Month award for the second time: in November of the past season, he was honored with this award when he debuted under Hannu Järvenpää at that time. In the meantime, the 21-year-old has become a regular member of the second-placed team in the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League. The Hungarian international team forward has played all 34 games for Hydro Fehérvár AV19 this season and recorded four goals and eight assists. In December he scored six points from 13 games.

„Of course, I am very happy that i won, but i owe my success on ice to my teammates and line mates, because without them we would not be so successful. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to play for Hydro Fehervar AV19. Last season I got a taste of the pace of the championship, and this year I have already spent the whole season here. This was my dream since I arrived in Szekesfehervar six years ago. I think my game has improved a lot over the past year, but I know I have a long way to go and I do my best every day to get better. Being awarded last season and this season as well makes me proud, it is a great motivation for me because I know I am on the right track to achieve my goals. I keep getting messages from fans, which a great feeling but I’m really glad I managed to fit in the team, I hope I can help the team for a long time”, Akos Mihaly.
