Watt is Hockey?
Hockey is a fun and inclusive sport whether or not you have played before it is a simple and enjoyable sport to pick up. Teams of 11, players play with a stick and pass the ball around looking to break into the shooting circle and score into a goal! The Heriot Watt hockey club has been one of the largest sports club the university has seen for the past few years.
