Clark passed away at the age of 56, following a battle with cancer.
The Raiders inducted Clark to the club's Wall of Honour in the builder category on Friday night, in recognition of over a decade of hockey operations service.
Prior to joining the Raiders as an executive, Clark played 31 games with the team during the 1982-83 season. During his WHL playing career, he skated in 100 games in stints with the Raiders, Saskatoon Blades and Nanaimo Islanders.
Clark began his coaching career in 1991-92 as an assistant coach with the Tacoma Rockets.
He began his first WHL head coaching job with the Raiders that lasted for two seasons in 1993-94, which included a run to Game 7 of the WHL's Eastern Conference championship, before bowing out against the Brandon Wheat Kings. He would also later serve as head coach for the Blades from 1995-98.
He returned for a second stint behind the Raiders bench in 2000-01, before moving upstairs to serve as the Raiders' director of hockey operations and general manager from 2001-08.
Clark was the older brother of former Toronto Maple Leafs captain Wendel Clark.
