Scottish Hockey National League 3 (1975–2019)

The men's Scottish hockey National League 3 champions are the winners of the third-tier league in men's hockey in Scotland. The 2019–20 season was the last season of the third-tier league. After the COVID-19 pandemic in Scotland, only 24 teams entered the National Competition and so a third league was not required. The leagues are overseen by the Scottish Hockey Union

The national league and subsequent leagues were founded in 1975[1] after competitive district hockey proved popular. An annual tournament pitted the top teams from each district against one another and this eventually formed the basis of a national league system.

The 1974–75 season was the initial steps to form 'official' national leagues in 1975–76. Participating clubs played for league placement for next season. Clubs across Scotland were invited to participate in the National League, with clubs split into three leagues. At the end of the season, the teams were divided into six leagues of 8 teams.
