Lead Coach Peter Bleackley said of Clarkson:
“Kieran
started his hockey at Deeside and moved to Manchester. We have watched his
career with interest and he was on our wanted list as soon as the D2 team was
in its early stages. A solid player with a cool attitude, we are really glad
for him to be playing at Deeside again.”
Talking
about joining the Ducks, Kieran said: “I’m so glad to be back where it all started. I’m looking forward to the new season and can’t
wait to hit the ice with the team.”
