Congratulations to OG, Archie Stephen (Patchells ’23), on his selection for the Scotland Development Programme (SDP) Men's Squad for their upcoming series against Ireland.

Archie has been named among a talented group of young players selected to represent Scotland as part of Scottish Hockey's development pathway, which aims to prepare emerging athletes for future senior international competition.

Hockey has long been a significant part of Archie's sporting journey. During his time at Glenalmond (and Craigclowan before that), he was a key member of the College's hockey programme, helping to continue the school's strong tradition in the sport. His passion for hockey began at a young age and has continued to flourish through dedication, hard work, and a commitment to developing his game.

Selection for the Scotland Development Programme is a significant achievement and recognition of the progress Archie has made since leaving Glenalmond. The series against Ireland will provide valuable international experience as he continues to advance within the Scottish Hockey pathway.

Everyone at Glenalmond is delighted to see Archie representing Scotland and wishes him every success in the upcoming fixtures. We look forward to following his continued progress and celebrating future achievements both on and off the pitch.
