Edinburgh Hockey Club also known as Cala Edinburgh for sponsorship reasons, is a field hockey club that is based at the Meggetland Sports Complex in Edinburgh, Scotland. [1] The club was founded in 1958. [2] The club runs two men's adult teams, six adult women's teams, four boys teams and three girls teams. [3]
During the 1950s, Inverleith Hockey Club members decided that Edinburgh needed more field hockey clubs. A letter was sent to Civil service employees and subsequently the Edinburgh Civil Service Hockey Club was formed. Another Edinburgh club Broughton F.P. was also formed around the same time. [2] Two pitches were obtained at Muirhouse and the first A.G.M. was held in March 1958 in St. Andrew's House, with the first fixture following in September 1958. [2]
Edinburgh Civil Service won the inaugural Scottish Hockey National League in 1975–76 and went on to win it eleven times in the first 13 years. [4]
From 1980 to 2005 they were also known as Murray International Metals (MIM) due to sponsorship reasons [5] and later played as Cala Edinburgh from 2013, again due to sponsorship from Cala Homes. [6]
