Celtic Cup (ice Hockey)
The Celtic Cup was founded by Richard 'Rambo' Gray in 2005 with the first match being held in 2006. It is a British University Ice Hockey competition to feature any Celtic teams who join the British Universities Ice Hockey Association. At present the competition is a one-off match held each year between Cardiff Redhawks and Edinburgh Eagles. These matches are often extremely spirited affairs with both sides wanting to play hard, but at the end of the game the friendships made remain. The Celtic Cup was set to be named the Richard 'Rambo' Gray Celtic Cup at the end of his University playing Career in 2010, however that honour was forfeited by Gray, as he continues to play an active role as coach in the competition and simply named the new trophy the British Universities Ice Hockey Association Celtic Cup.
