Wendel Clark on Gretzky, ’93 Leafs, World Juniors & His Toughest Fights

Season rolls on with a special holiday edition of The Sheet as Jeff Marek sits down with Toronto Maple Leafs legend Wendel Clarke for an unforgettable long-form conversation. Clarke dives into everything—from his Saskatchewan roots and early days skating on frozen ponds, to World Juniors memories, farm-boy strength, learning the game as a bruising defenseman, and eventually transforming into one of the NHL’s most feared power forwards. He reflects on coaching minor hockey, developing his vicious wrist shot, being drafted first overall, the 1993 playoff run, battling Wayne Gretzky, his famous fight with Marty McSorley, training-camp wars, Harold Ballard and King Clancy stories, the Sundin trade, and why certain eras of Leafs hockey were far tougher than fans remember. It’s Wendel Clarke unfiltered, raw, hilarious and insightful — perfect for Leafs fans, NHL history buffs and anyone who loves the game.
