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 better or worse, stepparenting is self-conscious parenting. You’re damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.”
—Anonymous Parent. Making It as a Stepparent, by Claire Berman, introduction (1980, repr. 1986)
“We used chamber-pots a good deal.... My mother ... loved to repeat: “When did the queen reign over China?” This whimsical and harmless scatological pun was my first introduction to the wonderful world of verbal transformations, and also a first perception that a joke need not be funny to give pleasure.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“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)
