Some sad news to report on in the hockey world on Sunday as University of Oregon Ducks forward Dayton Clarke has passed away at the age of 21.
"With our heaviest heart, we bring devastating news as Dayton Clarke has passed away. He was energetic and full of joy. He was a very good hockey player and a great teammate.
We send love and strength to all friends and family of Dayton.
There will be a go-fund me in the coming days for his funeral processions.
Rest in peace, Clarkey.
We love you❤️ #18" The University of Oregon said in an Instagram post on Sunday.
The Victoria, British Columbia native spent his junior hockey career all over Canada, appearing in the VIJHL, GMHL, NOJHL and SIJHL, before joining the University of Oregon in the ACHA for the 2022-23 season. In 15 games for the University of Oregon Ducks, Clarke had five points (three goals, two assists) and 13 penalty minutes.
