FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Stratford, ON — The Hunter Steel Stratford Warriors
Jason Clarke to Step Down as Director of Hockey Operations at Season’s End.
The hockey club announced today that Jason Clarke will be stepping down from his role as Director of Hockey Operations at the conclusion of the current season, bringing an end to a distinguished 32-year career in the game at various levels.
Clarke assumed the Director of Hockey Operations role in the spring of 2021, providing leadership, stability, and strategic direction for the organization. Since that time, he has overseen hockey operations while continuing to build on the culture and standards that have defined the club’s success.
Prior to taking on the Director role, Clarke had already made a significant impact with the organization, serving in roles as Assistant Coach and Head Scout since 2015. Over his tenure, the club captured two Cherrey Cup championships and advanced to Game 7 of the Sutherland Cup, marking competitive and successful seasons in recent history.
Clarke’s departure from the role marks the end of a chapter—not only with the club, but in a career that spans more than three decades of dedication to hockey as a coach, scout, management, and executive.
“I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished together,” Clarke said. “This organization, the players, coaches, staff, and community have meant a great deal to me. I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve in this role and to be part of so many memorable moments.”
During the most recent Board meeting, the Board approved the appointment of the club’s current General Manager, Nick Parr, as the new Director of Hockey Operations. Nick brings strong leadership, continuity, and a deep understanding of the Warriors organization, and the Board is confident he will guide the hockey program forward with professionalism and vision.
The organization thanks Jason Clarke for his leadership, commitment, and lasting contributions, and wishes him the very best in the next chapter of his journey.
