The older of the two goalies, Attila Adorján comes from Csíkszereda, where he came up through the local youth system made his debut in the Romanian league during the 2012-12 season. He spent one more season at home before coming across the border to Miskolc. In his first season in Hungary he played for the U20 team of Miskolc before making his debut the following season with the senior team. He has since won two league titles and hopes to win a third.
The younger of the two goalies, Bence Kiss was born and raised in Miskolc and came up through the Miskolc youth system. Just like his goalie partner he made his debut with the senior team during the 2015-16, and last year he and Adorján split the net minding duties as they lead DVTK to their third league title in a row.
Attila Adorján
What was the secret to the the success that you and Bence Kiss had this past week?
I would have to say that our defencemen played great in front of us but our forwards played great as well for us. It was not easy as we had a number of players missing for us. We played with 5 D-men, but who was available played great.
What does it feel to go back and play against your hometown team in Csíkszereda?
I love playing back home, it kind of feels like I am playing for the home team. There is always a great atmosphere in Csíkszereda.
DVTK is playing great, what is different this season in the team than in the past?
The roster overall is stronger than in the past and we are really a team both on and off the ice. We have a great coach and the mentality on the roster is great as well. It is no secret that everyone is working hard.
Bence Kiss
DVTK has a goalie duo that is working great, why is this?
We have known each other for a long time, Attila and me have a great relationship both on and off the ice. The key to our success has been that we are able to help each other, we are both pushing the other one to move to the next level. This is why we are always getting better and improving. Of course there is a friendly rivalry at practice.
How do you help each other?
We support each other and always have something positive to say to each other. Sometimes we are kidding around but when it comes to game time we are focused on the match. We share with each other what we noticed and we go over the games together with our goalie coach Tamás Farkas. During the games we are always looking to see how we can help each other, this way regardless of who is in net both of us can play to the best of our ability.
How does Tamás Farkas help the both of you?
We practice everyday with him and do a lot of video sessions. We review all the games frame by frame with him. We are both trying to improve our game.
