For the first time in the 88 year history of Hungarian ice hockey a museum will be housing the artifacts of legends and glories of yesteryear, at the historical outdoor ice rink in City Park.
The museum contains relics and artifacts that the historical committee had collected and there are also some pieces on loan from private collections as well. The historical committee has been looking for a permanent location for the museum since the creation of the Hungarian Hockey Hall of Fame in 2011.
