Georgetown Raiders alternate captain Liam Clare (photo credit: Andy Corneau/OJHL Images) has confirmed his commitment to join the Sacred Heart University Pioneers beginning with the 2015-16 Atlantic Hockey season.

The Georgetown, Ontario native joined his hometown Raiders in 2012-13 after spending the previous two years with the Halton Hurricanes Midget 'AAA' squad, which saw him selected by the Windsor Spitfires in the 14th round, 275th overall, of the 2011 OHL Priority Selection.

As a rookie in 2012-13, Clare would lead the Raiders defensive corps with a respectable 26 points in 49 regular season games played, while adding three assists in 11 post-season contests.  This past year, the rearguard took on a leadership role with the club and not only did he once again lead Georgetown offensively, but he finished tied for eighth overall among the league's best defenceman, recording 37 points in 53 regular season contests.  His 34 assists ranked him sixth best in the OJHL and included 14 power play points.  Clare would finish third overall in scoring on the Raiders during the post-season, notching his first playoff goal and 15 points before falling to the eventual champion, Toronto Lakeshore Patriots.

Congratulations to Liam and we look forward to watching him excel in 2014-15!
