“I’m looking forward to playing for such a prestigious organization and playing in front of our amazing fans,” said Clarke. “I believe that this group of boys can do something special and I can’t wait to get started.”

The Milton Keynes, UK native was originally selected by the Erie Otters in the third round, 47th overall, of the 2024 OHL U18 Priority Selection. He played 19 games for the Otters in 2024-25 before spending most of the past two seasons in the GOHL. In 2025-26, Clarke played for the St. Marys Lincolns, scoring 10 goals and adding 14 assists for 24 points. He had another seven points in 23 playoff games, helping the Lincolns reach the Sutherland Cup final.

“Jack is a big, physical forward who is tough to play against,” said Michael Oke, Petes general manager and vice president of operations. “He loves to battle and will do anything to help the team win. He’s a solid addition to our forward group.”

The Petes kick off their 2026 OHL season at home on Thursday to they host the Kingston Frontenacs. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. at the Peterborough Memorial Centre.
