The club was founded in 1969 at accommodation at Whitehaugh, Paisley.[citation needed] The men's team quickly progressed through the divisions, winning National League 4 and National League 3 in 1979 and 1980 respectively before taking National League 2 title in 1985.[4]

The team became champions of Scotland for the first time in 1990.[5] The men's team continued their success, winning three more National League titles (1991, 1992 and 1994),[4] Scottish Cup and European competitions. In season 1991–92 the club achieved the ‘Grand Slam of Scottish Hockey’ with all teams winning all SHU competitions entered.[citation needed]

After a quieter period, they were the SHU team of the year in 2005 and 2007, winning four Scottish Cups, two SHU European Playoffs, EHF European Cup in Austria and EHF European Club Championship in Switzerland. 2006/07 was an outstanding season when the team completing their domestic season as 'Undefeated Team of Scottish Hockey’ with an unprecedented 100% perfect record with all games won.[citation needed] The team also embarked on a 13 consecutive league title wins from 2005 to 2017 to set a record of 17 league titles.[4]
