A massive thanks to Club Archivist Alan Veitch who has intently documented and collated our club history. Without him a lot would have been lost to time.
100 years old
We have battled through all the last 100 years has had to offer, from relegations to World Wars, with a constant determination to survive.
Always for everyone
In the Autumn of 1917 Inverleith started as a mixed social hockey club. Showing that from day one we have been a club for all.

Our Club are proud to wear Purple and bar a wartime shortage of Purple fabric, have done so for over 100 years!
1000s of members
