Sponsorship

The first sponsor of the Cup was the Scottish Daily Mail and it was known as the Scottish Daily Mail Trophy. This ran from 1962 until 1971[7] when the Daily Mail moved to Manchester. After that, The Scotsman took over sponsorship and clubs played for the Scotsman Cup. This ran from 1972 until 1997.[8] Arthur McKay Building Support services sponsored the competition from 2011 until 2013.[9]

Scottish Plate

The Scottish Plate is the second cup competition in Scottish Hockey. It is contested between the teams that are knocked out of the Scottish Cup in the first round. Teams knocked out compete in the same knock out format as the Scottish Cup. The finals are played in May at the same time as the Cup at the Glasgow National Hockey Centre. The first recorded plate match is from the 1998-99 season however other matches may have occurred before that.
