SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – 1974 University of New Hampshire men's hockey alum Gordie Clark will be inducted into the AHL Hall of Fame in a ceremony held at Montgomery Theater in San Jose, Calif., at 2 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 5. The ceremony can be watched on AHLTV.
Clark was UNH's first two-time All-American (1973 & 1974) and is a member of the Century Club for scoring more than 100 points as a Wildcat (76-86-162 points in 90 games). He is also a UNH Hall of Famer.
Born in Glasgow, Scotland and raised in Saint John, New Brunswick, Clark spent most of his nine-year playing career in the American Hockey League with Rochester, Springfield and Maine.
Clark, who was drafted by the Boston Bruins, began his professional career with the Rochester Americans. He recorded 64 points in 65 games as a rookie and increased his goal production in each of his four years in Rochester, earning a spot on the AHL Second All-Star Team in 1976 and again in 1977 – the first of his four career postseason All-Star selections.
After brief stints in the World Hockey Association as well as AHL Springfield, Clark joined the Maine Mariners late in the 1978-79 season and averaged better than a point per game to help them to a Calder Cup championship that spring. He led the American Hockey League with 47 goals in 1979-80, and two years later he set career highs when he scored 50 goals and totaled 101 points.
Clark retired in 1983 with 267 goals and 332 assists for 599 points in 540 AHL games.
He spent some time as an assistant coach with Maine and in the NHL with Boston and the New York Islanders, and for more than three decades Clark has been one of the most highly regarded player personnel executives in the NHL, working with the Bruins, Islanders, Rangers and Canadiens.
