Scotch on Ice: Scotland’s Ice Hockey Heroes
David Gordon
The players featured in this book are some of the finest ever seen on Scottish ice. Individuals like Billy Fullerton and ‘Tuck’ Syme, for example, were as outstanding in their chosen sport as any hero of football or rugby. This book goes further though, in telling the personal stories of the players whose contribution to the sport has been particularly significant. Take Jimmy Foster’s starring role in Great Britain’s gold medal win at “Hitler’s Games” in 1936, or father and son duo Martin and Colin Shields, whose involvement in ice hockey has spanned five decades.
