Introduction

The Eagles were formed in 2003 and are an Ice hockey club that caters primarily to university players. They accept players from any higher education institution in Scotland.

They have two University teams; with the A teams competing in the Division 1 Northern Conference of the BUIHA, and the B team (known as the Beagles) competing in challenge matches throughout the season. Both teams enter the annual BUIHA National Championships, with the Eagles entering Div 1 and the Beagles Div 3. The Eagles are also the sister club of the Edinburgh Phoenix who play and compete as part of the Scottish Ice Hockey Recreational Conference.

The Celtic Cup

The Eagles participate in the Celtic Cup Varsity; an annual one off challenge game against the Cardiff Redhawks who are the only other non-English team in the BUIHA.

The competition has been running since 2006, the location alternating between Murrayfield and Cardiff Bay, Cardiff.
