History


The origins of the Scottish Hockey Union, like many hockey organisations started with separate associations for men and women. The Scottish Women's Hockey Association (SWHA) was formed in February 1900, in Edinburgh by eight clubs. Dr. Mona Chalmers Watson, from Edinburgh Ladies, was elected the first president.[1] The Scottish Hockey Association (SHA) was set up on November 18th 1900, where ten clubs met in Glasgow to form the men's association. James Burns, 3rd Baron Inverclyde, was elected the first president.[citation needed] In June 1989 the SHA merged with the SHWA to form the Scottish Hockey Union.[2]



Current Scotland Squads


The SHU are in charge of selecting a number of Scotland national squads. This includes the Scotland men's national field hockey team[3] and Scotland women's national field hockey team[4] squads, as well as Masters and Junior squads.



Domestic Hockey


Scottish Hockey is in charge of organising both National league and Regional league hockey for both men and women's hockey in Scotland. This is for both indoor and outdoor hockey. They also organise all cup competitions, which includes the Scottish Cup, the District Cup and the Reserve Cup.


Scottish Hockey assists with running each district, however a voluntary committee runs senior district league hockey for West, East and North districts.

Mononymous person

Image
Plato, the Greek philosopher, is universally known by a single name. A mononymous person is an individual who is known and addressed by a single name, or mononym. [a] [b] In some cases, that name has been selected by the individual, who may have originally been given a polynym ("multiple name"). In other cases, it has been determined by the custom of the country [c] or by some interested segment. In the case of historical figures, it may be the only one of the individual's names that has survived and is still known today.
