Scottish Squad named for 4 Nations Tournament
SCOTLAND head coach Derek Forsyth has selected an 18-strong squad to contest the 90th birthday celebrations of the Polish Hockey Association.
His side will play matches against France, Poland and Italy from June 17-19 in Gniezno (50k north of Poznan) for the Anniversary Cup.
Scotland’s Great Britain squad players, captain Chris Grassick and Alan Forsyth, are unavailable for the squad which includes a number of debutants at this level.
Uncapped players are goalkeeper Sean Hadfield, who moves up from the under-21 squad, and his former Grange team-mate, Duncan Riddell, along with former Inverleith striker Patrick Christie, and ex-Kelburne midfielder Ed Greaves.
Amsterdam-based Kenny Bain will reach his 150th cap if he plays in all the games.
Derek Forsyth said: “This tournament kick-starts our competitive fixtures leading towards the World League in Glasgow from September 6 to 11 when we play Switzerland, Wales, Portugal and Slovakia.
“The World League is a key tournament for us and we must do everything we can to have the squad ready.”
