GHK Hockey Club
field hockey club in Glasgow, Scotland
GHK Hockey Club (Glasgow High Kelvinside) is a field hockey club that is based at the High School of Glasgow sports grounds (known as Old Anniesland), north-east Glasgow, Scotland. Both the men's and women's sections have six teams.
History
The hockey club is part of a group of sports (including rugby and cricket) organised by the GHK Sports Clubs, which was formed in 1982, following a sports merger of Kelvinside Academy and High School of Glasgow.
The men's section had a different path to the women's club in that they only became part of GHK in 2000. They were originally called the Cochrane Park Hockey Club (formed in 1899) and throughout their history had played at venues such as Milliken Park in Johnstone and Linwood Sports centre in Paisley. In 2000, they took the name GHK Cochrane Park. A further merger took place when the Clydebank Technical College Hockey Club or Clydebank TC as it was known, joined the GHK umbrella.
The women's team progressed through the Scottish National Leagues pyramid, winning National 4 in 1999 through to National 2 in 2017. As of 2025 they play in the highest tier of Scottish hockey, the Scottish Hockey Premiership.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “GHK Hockey Club” as field hockey club in Glasgow, Scotland. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as field hockey club in Glasgow, Scotland. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q136024422. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1982, 2000, 1899 and 1999.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
