Hungary was the 10th and final nation to finalize their roster ahead of the IIHF 2025 World Championships.
"It's always a difficult decision to cut the squad, and this time was no different," said Hungary's head coach Pat Cortina in a translate news release. "Everyone worked hard, gave it their all. I would also like to thank those who were ultimately left out for their effort and work. We have made a lot of progress in the last two days, we have done high-intensity training, and we have also worked a lot on tactics. From now on, we will continue to hone our game in the Czech Republic to be ready for the start of the World Cup."
Hungary went with a decidedly younger roster including 15-year-old rising star Réka Hiezl and eight other teenagers. Big 17-year-old defender Boglárka Báhiczki-Tóth who will play for Brown University next season is another notable younger player on the roster.
Up front, Hungary will hope the youth can be supported by their veterans including Fanni Garát-Gasparics, Alexandra Huszák, Alexandra Huszák, Réka Dabasi, and Madie Leidt. Hungary's forward lineup also includes a group of NCAA players including Emma Kreisz, , Regina Metzler, Zsófia Pázmándi, and Míra Seregély. Rounding out their offense are Imola Horváth, Kinga Jókai-Szilágyi, Petra Polónyi, and Krisztina Weiler.
On the blueline veterans Taylor Baker, Franciska Kiss-Smion, and Lotti Odnoga will guide the way. Bernadett Németh, Fruzsina Mayer, Alexandra Cservyachenko, Lili Hajdu, Lorina Haraszt, and Isabel Lippai complete the blueline.
In net, Anikó Németh, Zsuzsa Révész, and Noémi Zoé Takács will fill the crease.
