Some people travel for castles. Some travel for the pubs. We’re bringing our hockey gear and doing both.
Join Hockey Travel Club by BLPA for ten days through Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Ireland, combining three hockey games with historic cities, Scottish scenery, and plenty of time to get to know the people sharing your bench.
We’ll start in Edinburgh, exploring its castle, cobbled streets, and pub scene before heading out to Loch Lomond for a taste of Scotland’s spectacular countryside. Then we’ll cross the Irish Sea to Belfast for more hockey, a look into the city’s history, and the Titanic Belfast experience. One final night in Dublin brings the trip home.
Expect new teammates, local opponents, questionable locker-room humour, and at least one story you’ll still be telling at next year’s tournament.

Sample Itinerary
BLPA Scotland and Ireland Tour
March 19 to March 28, 2027
(10 days / 9 nights with final night in Dublin)
The Itinerary
Day 1 • Friday, March 19 | Welcome to Edinburgh
Arrive at Edinburgh Airport and join your Hockey Travel Club by BLPA crew. Start your Scottish adventure with a visit to Edinburgh Castle, perched above the city on Castle Rock. The afternoon is yours to settle in, explore, and get to know your travel teammates.
Day 2 • Saturday, March 20 | Edinburgh Streets & Scottish Beer
Explore Edinburgh’s Old Town and New Town on a guided walking tour, taking in the Royal Mile, historic lanes, and grand Georgian squares. Finish at Brewhemia with a three-beer flight, then enjoy the afternoon at your own pace. Find a pub, browse the shops, or keep exploring.
Day 3 • Sunday, March 21 | Hockey Game #1
Time to unpack the gear. Our first game brings the crew together on Scottish ice against local opposition. Meet the players, share a few laughs, and give them something to remember us by. Preferably a good game.
Day 4 • Monday, March 22 | Loch Lomond & Conic Hill
Head into Loch Lomond and the Trossachs for a day of Scottish scenery. The planned walk up Conic Hill takes approximately two to three hours, with panoramic views over the loch. Afterwards, there’s time to purchase lunch in Balmaha before boarding a sightseeing cruise past wooded islands and mountain shores.
Day 5 • Tuesday, March 23 | Hockey Game #2
Back on the ice for our second game in Scotland. Another chance to connect with local players, build some chemistry, and find out whether the play you drew up over pints actually works. Enjoy your final evening in Edinburgh before tomorrow’s journey.
Day 6 • Wednesday, March 24 | Across the Irish Sea to Belfast
Travel by coach from Edinburgh to Cairnryan, then board the ferry for the crossing to Belfast. After dropping your bags at the hotel, join a guided orientation walk through the city. Finish in the Cathedral Quarter, with the evening free for dinner, music, and exploring.
Day 7 • Thursday, March 25 | Titanic Belfast
Visit Titanic Belfast, beside the shipyards where the famous liner was built. Explore the exhibits at your own pace, then join a guided walk through the historic slipways. Afterwards, spend more time discovering Belfast’s streets, restaurants, and pubs.
Day 8 • Friday, March 26 | Hockey Game #3
Our final game takes place in Belfast. Leave whatever you’ve got left on the ice, then enjoy your last evening in the city with the crew. By now, the strangers you met in Edinburgh should feel a lot more like teammates.
Day 9 • Saturday, March 27 | Next Stop: Dublin
Travel south to Dublin for the final night of the tour. Settle in, find a good meal, and enjoy some time exploring the city centre. One more evening together and one more chance to toast a trip worth taking.
Day 10 • Sunday, March 28 | Homeward Bound
Transfer to Dublin Airport for your journey home with well-travelled hockey gear, new friends, and stories that will follow you back to your own locker room.
