Great Britain Super League Explained

The Great Britain Super League was a short lived field hockey tournament organised by Great Britain Hockey.

It was established in 2007 as a showcase for British hockey talent. The event was run from 2007 until 2012 and is now defunct. The inaugural teams were from England (Wessex Leopards, Saxon Tigers and Pennine Pumas), Scotland (Caledonian Cougars and Highland Jaguars) and Wales (Celtic Panthers) competing. Players from the national leagues represented their relevant region.[1] [2]
