Anterior view, anatomical position

The suprascapular notch is an important landmark of the scapula because it is through this that the suprascapular artery and the suprascapular nerve pass.  That would make this a Grant, Grant, Grant thing.  This nerve goes on to control the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles.  The suprascapular artery is a branch of the transverse scapular artery.
