1) Be a Competitor- You want to be the team that is tough to play against. Finish your checks, work hard all the time, make simple plays, and pay the price.
2) Size Doesn't Matter in Hockey- Mr. Clark was 5'10ish and at best 190lbs., and he took on, with success, players of all sizes and skill levels.
3) Be Well Rounded- Mr. Clark scored over 300 goals in the National Hockey League, and yet still stood up for his teammates against anyone. He was a 2- Way player in every sense of the phrase.
4) Play with Passion- Don't take shifts off. Be engaged.
