Ross Stott retires from international hockey

 

After 117 caps, 6 goals, 2 commonwealth games, and 5 Europeans, Scotland senior international hockey player Ross Stott has announced his retirement from international hockey.

Stott said it was a tough decision after many great years and moments representing his country, but felt it was the right time.

He has been playing for the senior men for 11 years and will continue playing club hockey for East Grinstead in England.

With many great memories playing for Scotland, Stott rates his best moments as earning his first cap against South Africa, scoring his first goal for Scotland which came against Italy, playing in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, and every time he played for Scotland along with brother Niall.

Stott said: “I will miss wearing the Scotland top! I’d like to thank all the coaches that helped me develop as a player, and as a person, to get me to my goal which was to play for my country. Thanks to everyone involved in the national setup, especially those behind the scenes, and the players. Also to my fiancée Fran for supporting me the last two years and understanding why I had to go away a lot. Most importantly thanks to my mum and brother for helping me, supporting me, and sacrificing a lot for me.”
