S’side Bureau, The Guardian

SUMMERSIDE — It couldn't have been a nicer birthday pre- aent for RCAF Eagles. playing goach Tony Licari.

His Eagles defeated Borden Nationals 4-3 last Friday, the day of his 44th birthday, to win the PCHL championship in six games of a best of seven series.

“Tt was a very good series” gaid the stockey, ex-NHL play- er. “It was one of the best all year. They (Borden) did a mar- vellous job. They have good,

skaters and play an open galne. |

The. crowds enjoyed the type of | hockey we gave them”. The former Detroit Red Wing play- er thought Nat defenceman Dale | MacWilliams performed well. “He knows what to do with that puck’’, Licari said. : “We changed our style a bit more in the last three games’, Licari said. (Borden lead at one time two games --to- one). “Against the Combines ‘En- man Drvué) we were forecheck ing, sending two men in their end.

The Airmen won all the re- maining handful of games to cap- ture first place in the Maritime Armed Forces Hockey League. In the same league, after knock- ing off Cornwallis Cougars with little trouble, the Eagles claim- ed the MAFHL championship with a 42 victory over Green- wood Bombers in the deriding game of a best of three series.
