Tony Hand made his senior debut icing for Murrayfield Racers in 1981 at the tender age of 14 and went on the become one of the finest players this country has ever produced, amassing over 4000 points. Hand was drafted by Edmonton Oilers in the 12th round on the 1986 NHL draft, making him the first British player to do so, icing alongside Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier. The story recalled the famous quote by the NHL’s Glen Sather, who coached both players, Tony very briefly at an Oilers’ training camp. “Hand,” said Sather, “is the most intelligent player on the ice – bar Gretzky, of course.”
In the Spring of this year (2018) it was announced that Tony’s first club, the Murrayfield Racers had reformed. Only 18 at the time (1986), he declined the opportunity to play in North America, preferring to return home to Scotland. Hand returned in October 1987 for Murrayfield's first ill-fated trip onto the continent to play in the IIHF's European Cup where, after beating Bulgarian side Slavia Sofia in a preliminary round, the semi-pro team from Scotland were thrashed by full-time sides from the Netherlands, Sweden and (Germany).

started badly for Hand with an eight-game ban for a drug offence when a cold remedy gave a positive result for traces of ephedrine. However, the domestic season got better for him personally as he was awarded a place on the All-Star team and was voted Players' Player of the Year. He was also the League's top scorer with 60 goals and 80 assists in 36 games and captained the Scotland side that beat England 7–6 in the 49th Home International, scoring three of the goals. For the Murrayfield team though, the season was full of controversy and disappointment which ended without qualifying for the play-offs. He made his senior debut on 20 September 1981, at the age of fourteen against the Fife Flyers when the Murrayfield Racers had a player shortage. [1] He gained his first point against the Billingham Bombers on 17 October 1981, with an assist to a Chris Kelland goal. He finished the 1981/82 season having played 19 games, scoring 4 goals and adding 7 assists for 11 points. He followed it up the following year with 20 goals and 22 assists, a total of 42 points, in 24 games. However the club’s ultimate aim is to gain a place in the Elite League and once again become a major force amongst the top teams in the UK.Tony Hand inducted into IIHF hall of fame".

During the close season, Hand trained with Geneve-Servette and was offered a contract as their fourth import, but in the top Swiss league which allowed only three imports to play in game, he turned it down. Instead he returned to Murrayfield where, in an indifferent year, he scored 114 goals and 162 assists in 49 games, including his 1,000th point and 500th goal.

Despite stiff competition from established teams such as Coventry, Fife and Guildford the Stars romped the league by 12 points At the end of the 1989–90 season, after winning the Norwich Union Cup and the Scottish double, Murrayfield reached the Wembley play-off for the fifth time in seven years but lost to Cardiff Devils on penalty shots with Hand missing the deciding shot. He played 45 games, scoring 73 goals and 117 assists. In March 1990, he won a Gold medal and the MVP award during Great Britain's Pool D promotion campaign in Cardiff scoring 5 goals and 8 assists in 4 one-sided games against Australia and Spain. Tony Hand said: “I am delighted to be appointed Head Coach of the Warriors. I’ve been friends with David and Paul for years and they have done a great job with the team. My job now will be to build the squad for the challenges ahead. Solway have set the standard in the league and we must strive to reach that level. It will not be easy and will take time but my aim is to get there and build a legacy in Whitley Bay. I will be reaching out to players old and new to outline my vision for the team and get them on board with the journey.
