Clune spent seven seasons with the Toronto Marlies, two of those as the team’s captain. His influence within the Marlies and the organization went beyond his performances on the ice. A strong work ethic, a willingness to set aside time for teammates (including new additions), and always going above and beyond the call of duty left a lasting impression on all of those who shared a dressing room with him. That was born out in the pre-game video tribute in which many players paid their personal tribute to the man known as Dicky.
As for the action on the ice, this was another frustrating loss for the Marlies.
