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.
