The local native joined the Raiders in 2012-13 after spending the previous two years with the Halton midget AAA Hurricanes and was selected by the Windsor Spitfires in the 14th round, 275th overall, of the 2011 OHL Priority Selection. As a rookie, the six-foot, 175-pound Clare would lead the Raiders' defenders in scor- ing with 26 points in 49 regu- lar season games played, while adding three assists in 11 post- season contests. This past year, the rear- guard 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 defencemen, recording 37 points in 53 regular sea- son contests. His 34 assists ranked him sixth best in the OJHL and included 14 power play points. Clare finished third over- all in scoring on the Raiders during the post-season, notching his first playoff goal and 15 points before fall- ing to the eventual champion, Toronto Lakeshore Patriots.
