Falkirk Lions

The Falkirk Lions were an ice hockey team in Falkirk, Scotland. Their home arena was the Falkirk Ice Rink.

The Lions played in the Scottish National League from 1938 to 1954 (it was disrupted from 1941-1946 due to World War II). They never won the regular season but claimed the Anderson Trophy as playoff champions four times; in 1949, 1950, 1952, and 1954.

They joined the British National League when it debuted for the 1954-55 season, finishing in fourth place. The Lions subsequently dropped out of the league and went on to play one season in the Scottish Amateur League.

The club's additional accomplishments include winning the Scottish Cup in 1949 and 1952 and finishing as runners-up in the Scottish Autumn Cup in 1947, 1948, and 1951. They also finished second in the British Autumn Cup in 1954.
