Despite being only 24 years old, Bence Stipsicz already gained quite a bit of experience. The defender of the Hungarian senior national team already acted in four world championships. The MAC Budapest-trained player made his debut in the MOL League in the 2015/2016 season and appeared in 53 games for his club. He spent the 2016/2017 season in the USHL, the top US junior league, scoring six points in 47 games for the Cedar Rapids Rough Riders. After a year overseas, he returned to Hungary to Hydro Fehérvár AV19. Since the 2017/2018 season, he has played 208 games in the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League, scoring 68 points.

Bence Stipsicz: "I see a very good opportunity to develop here in Fehérvár. I have the confidence of the coaching staff, and every year I play a bigger role. The league is also getting stronger and I can play at the highest level in Hungary. I want to get even better next year and contribute even more to the team's performance. The league forces you to make quick decisions. Apart from the sport, I still have one year of my master's studies at the university ahead of me, which I would like to finish, and the club supports me in this. Next season, which I'm looking forward to with the fans, we want to finish the year better because the playoffs didn't go the way we would have liked."
