Scottish Masters Hockey is dedicated to fostering a lifelong passion for hockey by providing opportunities for players of all eligible ages to compete, develop, and thrive. We strive to promote excellence, inclusivity, and camaraderie within the Masters hockey community while strengthening Scotland’s presence on the international stage.
Typically, we will organise trials every autumn for players to attend and put themselves forward for selection. We are keen to see as many players from across the agegroups as possible. So don’t be modest – discover whether you’re eligible to play for Scotland (see below), and keep tabs on our trial dates for your age group. Please read our Selection Policy.
Please note that all players attending selection must be registered with Scottish Hockey, and must be members of Scottish Masters Hockey. (Note that if you are currently involved with a Scottish hockey club you will be registered with Scottish Hockey. Otherwise register as a casual member).
