After being nominated in January and November 2021, Milan Horvath has now won the Opel & Beyschlag Young Star of the Month award. Horvath grew up in Székesfehérvár, joined the current third-place team in the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League at an early age and played through all junior classes. Since the 2020/21 season, the defender has been a regular in the Magyar squad and is now also on the roster of the Hungarian national team. Horvath played in four of the five AVS games in January and showed his great talent and qualities in defense. He recorded one assist in the 4-0 win over Innsbruck. Horvath has a contract for one more season in Székesfehérvár and collected ten points (3G|7A) from 39 games in the running campaign.

Milan Horvath: "When the voting came out, I saw who is nominated this month. After that I looked at the stats and I figured that everyone deserved to be awarded, but I'm glad they chose me. It's good feedback for me that I'm going in the right direction. This award means a lot to me. I want to give 100% in every game, but of course it's impossible because we are human and we make mistakes, in sports and in life. The opinion of the people involved in the selection is important to me. I am very happy to receive the 'Young Star of the Month' award and I hope that in the coming months I can bring the same level as before for the good of the team."

The election consists of three components: in addition to the fan voting on the league homepage, the Puls24 experts, as well as journalists will also cast their votes. If two or more players receive the same number of votes, they will be ranked according to the result of the fan vote.
