Who is Dave Clancy?

Dave Clancy He is a British ice hockey goaltender of English parentage, currently playing for the Flintshire Freeze in the ENL. Clancy began his career playing at deeside junior ice hockey club. Then worked his way up to play some games for the senior team. He then left the club to go and play for the Altrincham Tigers at Under-19 level. He backstopped the Tigers to a national tournament win in Cardiff, claiming the 'Goalie of the Tournament' award along the way. Clancy was also selected for the Team G.B. U-20 squad the same year, but was unavailable to travel with the squad.

After spending time with the Flintshire Freeze, and establishing himself as their first choice goaltender, Clancy signed for the Manchester Phoenix in the summer of 2003. It would be the team's inaugural season in the EIHL but Clancy was mainly used as a back-up to first choice goaltender Jayme Platt. He played in games with the Phoenix holding a shut out to win in London against the London Racers. Unfortunately after just one season, the franchise was temporarily suspended and so Clancy sought employment elsewhere, signing for the Swindon Wildcats at English Premier Ice Hockey League, EPIHL level. Clancy failed to make his mark though due to travelling, work and family commitments.
