BOSTON - They’ve been there every step of the way for Clarke MacArthur.
From tying his skates as a kid growing up in Lloydminster, Alb., to driving him to the rink early on Saturday mornings and sending him off to play Bantam AAA as a 15-year-old in Edmonton. They’ve enjoyed his highlights and they’ve been a shoulder to lean on after what has been a tough couple of years for Ottawa Senators winger.
Maybe that’s why being at the Canadian Tire Centre on Saturday against the Boston Bruins was so special for his parents Dean and Deb MacArthur because after everything he has been through with his wife Jessica and their young family, everybody was fortunate they were there to witness Clarke’s first goal since Apr.
