Clark spent the majority of the 2020-2021 season with the Jersey Hitmen of the NCDC in which he put up an impressive stat line. In 22 games he 18-2-1 with a 1.92 goals against average and a .935 save percentage. He went 2-0 in the playoffs with a 2.00 goals against average and a .952 save percentage. Clark also spent time with the Tri-City Storm playing in three games. He will play the 2021-2022 season in the USHL before making the trek to Hamden for the 2022-2023 season.Interesting enough Chase Clark ‘02 was only USA 🇺🇸 goalie selected in #2021NHLDraft. 6th rd pick of Caps, commits to Q’piac. Big right-catch goalie, Buffalo native was NCDC Champ with Jersey Hitmen this past season. Headed to TC in USHL for upcoming season.

The commitment of Clark gives the Bobcats another big goaltender in between the pipes following the likes of Keith Petruzzelli, Andrew Shortridge and Eric Hartzell. He is the second commitment to Quinnipiac this August following Christopher Pelosi who committed back on August 2nd.
