Hokkijátékot is the Hungarian term for ice hockey. It is a team sport played on ice between two teams of skaters who use sticks to shoot a vulcanized rubber puck into their opponent's net to score. The game is played at a high level of physical intensity and speed.

The sport originated in Canada in the early 19th century, but its popularity has spread globally. In Hungary, ice hockey has a significant following and a well-established domestic league. The Hungarian Ice Hockey Federation (Magyar Jégkorong Szövetség) governs the sport in the country and oversees the national teams.

Hungarian ice hockey teams have competed internationally in various tournaments, including the IIHF World Championships. The sport is played in several cities across Hungary, with dedicated ice rinks and clubs fostering young talent. Players typically start at a young age, developing skills in skating, puck handling, and teamwork.

The rules of hokkijátékot are largely consistent with international ice hockey regulations, involving periods of play, offsides, icing, and penalties for infractions. The game requires a high degree of physical conditioning, strategic thinking, and coordination among team members. Spectator interest in hokkijátékot in Hungary remains strong, with fans supporting their local teams and the national squad.
