László Róna (b. in Hungary) is a former defenceman. A Jewish Hungarian, Róna played for BKE Budapest in 1936. Three years later, the situation for him in a very anti-semitic Hungary forced him to leave the country. He exiled himself in Switzerland for a year, where he played for EHC Arosa. The next season, he moved to Finland, where he played for Kronohagens IF; he became Finnish champion that year with them. In 1941, Róna moved again, this time to Sweden, where he joined Karlbergs BK. After the war, he moved to France and played with the Paris Lions for 1949-50, becoming the first Hungarian player to play hockey in France.
