Boroughmuir Blaze Basketball Club is a basketball club based in the city of Edinburgh, Scotland.
The club was founded in 1961 with an initial nucleus of players from Edinburgh's Boroughmuir High School. The club's heyday came in the late 1960s when players like Tony Wilson, Mel Capaldi, John Tunnah, Brian Carmichael and Bill McInnes went on to form the backbone of the Scotland national basketball team. [1] A highlight of this period came in 1967 when Boroughmuir became the first British team to participate in a European cup competition. They were drawn against the mighty Real Madrid and played their home tie at Murrayfield Ice Rink before a crowd of nearly 1,000.
The Blaze moniker was introduced in 2004 and in recent years the club has rejuvenated its development program with the club now having over 100 members with teams at every age group from Under 12 through to Over 50s. The club's growth is reflected by entry in the U16 National League since 2005/06 and the U18 National League from 2006/07. The Senior Men's team re-entered the National League in 2011 after 3 years away, and won their first National League title in 38 years, and completed the league-playoffs double, in 2016.
Note: Flags indicate national team, as has been defined under FIBA eligibility rules. Players may hold more than one non-FIBA nationality.
