Airlie Trophy

The Airlie Trophy was first contested in 1939 and served as a minor rink tournament hosted by the Kingsway Rink in Dundee. It was donated by the Earl of Airlie, who presented the trophy to the winners. 
The 1939 tournament was a knock-out competition. The Dundee Tigers defeated the Perth Panthers to claim the trophy. In 1940, the final season of hockey in Scotland before World War II, it was played in a round-robin league format, using a rather unique system of awarding points. The teams received a point for each period they won in a game - no points were awarded for the final score itself. 
After the war, the tournament resumed in 1947. It was again played as a round-robin league competition. The Airlie Trophy was awarded to the Scottish Autumn Cup winner in 1949
The 1952-53 season saw the competition revert back to its initial single-elimination format. It was won by the Fife Flyers, who triumphed over the Edinburgh Royals 11-9 in a two-game, total goals final.
