The '''Simpson Trophy''' was a competition held in [[Scotland]] from the 1930s to the 1950s.

==History==
It was originally a competition between representative [[Glasgow]] and [[Perth]] sides. James Simpson, for whom the competition is named after, donated the trophy to be competed for on a two-leg basis by the two squads. Glasgow won the first match 2-1 and drew the second 1-1 to claim the 1938 Simpson Trophy.

The Simpson Trophy became a Scottish-wide competition in 1939. The [[Fife Flyers]] defeated the [[Dundee Tigers]] 7-6 on aggregate (5-3 in the first leg, 2-3 in the second) in the final to win the tournament.

In 1940 - the final season of hockey in Scotland before a six year interruption due to [[World War II]] - the [[Perth Panthers]] won the tournament by defeating the [[Dundee Tigers]] 12-5 in a two-game, total goals final.

The tournament resumed in 1946-47, this time utilizing a round-robin league format, where the team with the best goal differential was named champion. It was won by the [[Ayr Raiders]].

It reverted back to the single-elimination format for 1947-48 and 1948-49. In 1948 Dunfermline beat Dundee 15-10 on aggregate over two games, while Perth claimed the 1949 edition 17-14 over Dundee, once again on aggregate.

The last recorded playing of the Simpson Trophy was in 1950-51. It was won by the Dundee Tigers
