Playing career

Jókai Szilágyi began her senior club career with the women's representative team of KMH Budapest in the Elite Women's Hockey League (EWHL; renamed from Elite to European in 2019). She has gone on to play with SC Weinfelden in the Leistungsklasse A (LKA), Luleå HF/MSSK in the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL), the EHV Sabres in the EWHL and Austrian National Championship, MAC Budapest in the EWHL, and Skellefteå AIK in the NDHL.[1]

International play

Jókai Szilágyi represented Hungary at four IIHF Women's U18 World Championships, appearing in the Division I tournaments in 2012 and 2015, and in the Top Division tournaments in 2013 and 2014.[2][3]

Her first tournament with the senior national team was the 2013 IIHF Women's World Championship Division II A, in which Hungary secured promotion to the Division I B. She appeared at the Division I B tournaments in 2014, 2015, and 2016, and at the Division I A tournaments in 2017, 2018, and 2019.[4][5]

At the 2021 IIHF Women's World Championship, she was a member of the first women's national team to represent Hungary at the Top Division level and was the team's second-highest point leader behind Fanni Gasparics, with one goal and three assists for four points in four games.[6]
