Huge celebrations at the Scottish Hockey Awards

The Scottish Hockey Awards was a night of fantastic celebration at the Old Fruitmarket in Glasgow, as the hockey community came together to celebrate the brilliant contributions of players, officials, coaches and volunteers across Scotland.

Award winning stand-up comedian, Susie McCabe, was host leading the celebrations at the prestigious ceremony.

Western Wildcats men were crowned team of the year, sponsored by Gallagher, to round off a successful year for the team.

The Coach of the Year award, sponsored by QTV, went to Jamie Hogarth for inspirational work coaching and developing young players.

The Community Club of the Year, sponsored by Grays, was scooped up by Dumfries Hockey Club due to the tremendous impact the club has on its local community.

Meanwhile, for their outstanding approach to inclusion, Eskvale was deservedly awarded the Inclusion Award, sponsored by The University of Glasgow.

There was more success for the amazing award winning Scottish Masters O60s Women’s team when they won Masters Team of the Year, sponsored by Clayton Hotel Glasgow, for the second year in a row.

The fantastic Martin Madden won Official of the Year, sponsored by ALT, a well-earned success for one of Scotland’s best umpires.

The tremendous contribution of Diane Scade of GHK was celebrated when she won Volunteer of the Year, sponsored by Whos the Umpire.

Edinburgh University’s talented forward Keir Robb was awarded Player of the Year, sponsored by the University of Strathclyde, after a sensational goal-laden season for the club, alongside tremendous leadership. Meanwhile Frances Lonergan was announced as International Player of the Year, sponsored by The University of Edinburgh, after the public overwhelmingly voted for the Scotland women’s international.

The amazing Steven Glass deservedly won the Spirit of Hockey Award, sponsored by Sports Pro Travel, for overcoming significant personal challenges to deliver an exceptional amount of excellent success at the Dunfermline Carnegie

Finally, for an outstanding contribution to hockey as an official, and on various boards and committees, Barbara Morgan was commemorated with the Derek Forsyth Award.

Scottish Hockey Chair, Martin Shepherdson, said, “The awards night was truly fantastic, once again, offering a brilliant way to celebrate the incredible individuals who contribute so much to the sport and help shape the hockey community in Scotland. We were thrilled to lift the awards even higher than before, and doing so in such an exciting venue made it all the more special. It was wonderful to see everyone enjoying themselves so much.

“While we naturally congratulate all the winners, every single person involved should take pride in their achievements. The stories behind each nomination are genuinely inspiring.”

“Our vision is built on strengthening the fantastic relationships we share with our members and partners, and an annual awards event is the perfect way to do that.”
