Those fans, of course, had plenty to cheer about. But, there was another who was just ás pleased. That was the team's coach, Tom Eccleston. Coach Eccleston came to Prov• idence in 1956. He wanted very much to make Friar hockey known throughout the East. It was one of the team's goals while Eccleston was coach. With hard work, the building years of the late '50s paid off with winning teams in the early '60s. The 1964 championship team was Eccleston's last with PC and when he retired, his goal had been accomplished Eccleston made a lasting impression on all
