40 years of expertise at every level of baseball. Dave also played ice hockey goalie even

though he could not skate, and is a professional hockey announcer. His unique

athletic journey as a player, coach, manger, broadcaster, scout and owner

what they can accomplish. Dave Clark’s “Dream & Do” attitude is an

encouragement to all involved with D3.

Elmira Jackals Team Up with Dave Clark Foundation

To Host Inaugural D3 Hockey Camp

ELMIRA, N.Y. - January 3, 2013 - Today the Elmira Jackals, alongside the Dave Clark Foundation,hosted the inaugural D3 Hockey Camp at First Arena. Twenty-seven participants came out for an excitingday of learning hockey with the pros!

"Dave Clark is a truly inspiring athlete who overcame immense odds to achieve his dreams. Now he isproviding the same opportunities to similar children through his D3 Camps. All of that, along with the factthat he is originally from Corning, made this day a perfect fit for us," said Jackals general manager Matt

Hufnagel.

Dave Clark is a Corning, New York native who contracted polio as an infantbut overcame the disease in 1952. While his battle left him without full use ofhis legs, Clark went on to participate in Little League baseball playing pitcherand first base. Over the years he became such an accomplished player thathe earned a professional contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates as a knuckleballpitcher. While Clark never ascended to the major leagues as a player he didplay professionally in the minor leagues in the United States and in Sweden.

After his playing career ended, Clark worked as an instructor with the UnitedStates Olympic Baseball Team at the Summer Games in Atlanta in 1996 andeventually made it to the Major Leagues as a pitching instructor with the

Atlanta Braves in 1999. But now his full focus is on running the Dave ClarkFoundation which brings programs like the D3 Hockey Camp to children. D3got its start as a baseball camp and was runner up in 2012 for the MinorLeague Baseball Promotion of the Year Award.

The Jackals had the honor of hosting the inaugural D3 Hockey Camp wherethe participants from around the Southern Tier spent the afternoon with theJackals. After opening remarks from Dave Clark, the Jackals players andcampers enjoyed lunch at the First Arena restaurant so that they could buildtheir energy for a busy rest of the afternoon.

After lunch ended the campers and players went down to the arenaconcourse for crash course in hockey at four different stations. They learned

all about stick handling, passing, shooting, and goaltending. After thestations were finished, each camper attempted a shootout-style breakawaywith Artem Demkov defending the goal. Demkov won't be changing hisposition to goalie anytime soon because every camper scored and got tocelebrate with the entire team! The day ended with a group photograph andthe campers being presented with their certificates of achievement.

On Friday, January 4 the D3 campers will cheer the Jackals on when they face off against the rivalReading Royals. Prior to the game the Jackals will honor Dave Clark and his accomplishments by havinghim drop the ceremonial first puck.

Good seats are still available for the game so we hope that you will come out and help us celebrate aninspiring athlete and hometown hero, as well as all of the D3 campers who made today such a rousingsuccess.

We can't wait for the next D3 Hockey Camp with the Dave Clark Foundation!
