Clarke played in hockey leagues since the age of eight. He was a diabetic patient since a young age. Clarke did not want the Flyers organization to know he had diabetes, for fear that he would not be signed by the team. His diet antics would later become famous: He would drink two cans of soda and take three spoons of sugar before a game, add two bottles of orange juice during intermissions and pack chocolate bars and glucose gum hidden in his uniform's pockets, to prevent his sugar from going down from all the physical activity during the 60 minute games.
