Awards Ceremony celebrates achievements in Scottish hockey


Scottish Hockey marked the end of the domestic hockey season with a
celebration of both individual and collective achievements at the
Aberdeen Asset Management Annual Awards on Saturday 16 June.

Hosted at the Apex International Hotel in Edinburgh, eighteen
players, coaches and officials were presented with accolades to
recognise excellent performance in their field, while a number of
volunteers were also honoured for their valued dedication and
commitment to the sport. Clubs were also presented with league and
cup competition trophies and medals.

The evening was hosted by Katie Still, BBC Sport presenter, who is
a former National League hockey player and keen supporter of the
sport herself.

Robert Heatly, Chief Executive Scottish Hockey, said:

“The Aberdeen Asset Management Annual Awards is an important event
in our calendar, as it is the opportunity for our members to be
recognised amongst their peers for outstanding performance and
commitment to the sport of hockey in Scotland. My congratulations
extend to all the clubs collecting competition trophies and the
individual award winners.”

James Thorneley, Aberdeen Asset Management, said:

“This is the first year of our three year sponsorship of Scottish
Hockey and we’re delighted to be acknowledging the achievements of
key players, coaches and volunteers within the sport.

We are particularly keen to congratulate John Bell on being named
Aberdeen Asset Management Coach of Year, as one of the key
objectives of our support for Scottish Hockey is to facilitate the
professionalisation of coaching.”

Amongst the award winners was John Bell, the Aberdeen Asset
Management Coach of the Year, whose Inverleith Ladies team has
achieved back-to-back promotions and a domestic cup in the last
year.

Alan Forsyth of Glynhill Hotel Kelburne and Catriona Ralph of
Clydesdale Western were the Men’s and Women’s Player of the Year
respectively. Both will be in action for Scotland this summer when
the national squads play in the International Hockey Federation
(FIH) World League competitions.
