It wouldn’t seem right to have the Marlies without Rich Clune.

Clune, 34, appeared in 33 games with the Marlies this past season, recording four points (3 goals, 1 assist). He was named captain on March 1 after serving as an alternate captain in each of his previous seasons. In six seasons with the Marlies, he has registered 47 points (21 goals, 26 assists) in 197 regular season games. The Toronto native has appeared in 20 playoff games for the Marlies, collecting five points (2 goals, 3 assists) and capturing the Calder Cup in 2018. Clune has played more than 600 games at the NHL and AHL levels since being selected by the Dallas Stars in the third round (71st overall) of the 2005 NHL Draft.
