“Thank you Ottawa,

It is extremely difficult to put into words what my time in Ottawa has meant to me. Since the inaugural puck drop, I was fueled by your unwavering support and gave everything I had to this amazing city. There are countless moments from TD Place and Canadian Tire Centre where your cheers and energy were felt deeply, and those have become some of my favorite memories of my career so far. I will forever be grateful to have played in front of one of the most passionate fan bases in hockey.

Thank you to Mike, my coaches, and the Charge staff for your passion and professionalism. You have all helped me become a better player and person during my time here and I am thankful for the relationships that we built.

To my teammates, I love you guys. Thank you for making everyday at the rink filled with joy, laughter and a genuine care for one another. I will always cherish the bond this group shared and be proud of what we accomplished together.

Playing for the Ottawa Charge has been an incredible honour.

With love and gratitude,

Clarky
