Edinburgh Eagles (ice Hockey) - Introduction

Introduction

The Eagles were formed in 2003 by Amy Slater 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 Eagles won The North Division in the 2010-2011 season and narrowly missed out on winning the same division the year after but lost out to Manchester on GF.

Famous quotes containing the word introduction:

    For the introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned as imperiling the whole state; since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions.
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    Such is oftenest the young man’s introduction to the forest, and the most original part of himself. He goes thither at first as a hunter and fisher, until at last, if he has the seeds of a better life in him, he distinguishes his proper objects, as a poet or naturalist it may be, and leaves the gun and fish-pole behind. The mass of men are still and always young in this respect.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    My objection to Liberalism is this—that it is the introduction into the practical business of life of the highest kind—namely, politics—of philosophical ideas instead of political principles.
    Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
