International championships

Dailley was a member of the team which won the gold medal in ice hockey for Great Britain at the 1936 Winter Olympics.

Two players (including Jimmy Foster) hadn't even received the proper papers to allow them to play for Great Britain. (The Canadian Olympic Committee launched a formal protest, which was defeated.)
