Nick Vachon as Clark, the Canadian Hockey Goalie
Yesterday, I linked to a post (found in Having Hockey Withdrawal) by Anaheim Duck Fan who shared a video about a hockey player who misses the game of hockey so much that during the off-season, he decides to try baseball in order to pass the time. If you haven’t seen it, it’s very funny and worth the five minutes.
After my wife read the comments from Anonymous who wrote, “i think that’s rogie vachon’s kid!”, she did a little research.
Yes, in that video, it is Nick Vachon, son of Rogie Vachon who has the unfortunate distinction of playing only one game in the NHL with the New York Islanders and did not score a point. (It should also be stated that I’ve never played in the NHL, so he has accomplished more than me.) The left winger was drafted in the 12th round of the 1990 NHL Entry Draft by the Toronto Maple Leafs and spent most of his career in the AHL with the Utah Grizzlies, the Long Beach Ice Dogs, and the Springfield Falcons before calling it a career in 1998.
He also played three seasons with the Phoenix Roadrunners while they were a part of the IHL from 1994 to 1997. Vachon played with Yanic Perreault before Perreault went to the Los Angeles Kings in 1995. During the 1994-1995 and 1995-1996 seasons, the Roadrunners made the playoffs only to lose in the conference semifinals and quarterfinals respectively.
Besides the role of Clark, in Clark the Canadian Hockey Goalie, he has appeared in the movies S.W.A.T. and The Patriot.
