Scottish Hockey Premiership


The Scottish Hockey Premiership is the highest league in men's and women's hockey in Scotland. The leagues are overseen by Scottish Hockey.

History

The national league system was founded in 1975 after competitive district hockey proved popular. An annual tournament pitted the top teams from each district against one another, and this eventually formed the basis of a national league system.
The 1974–75 season was the initial step towards forming "official" national leagues in 1975-76. Participating clubs in 1974–75 played for league placement in the following season. Clubs across Scotland were invited to participate in the National League, with clubs split into three leagues. At the end of the season, the teams were divided into six leagues of 8 teams.
The league changed its name from the National League 1 to the Premiership for the 2019–20 season but due to the COVID-19 pandemic the season was declared void.
