Clerks

The Clerks were introduced as an expansion team for the 2014 tournament. The team name and imagery were based on the 1994 comedy film, Clerks., written and directed by Kevin Smith.

As of 2023, the Clerks are tied with the Bethehem Buddies, Eden Prairie Mallrats and the View Askew Vulgarians for the most Walter Gretzky Cup championships (2) won of any VASHL franchise.

Clerks was the first of Smith’s View Askewniverse films and the only one to date to be shot entirely in black and white. The film presents a day in the lives of two store clerks and their acquaintances. The team’s logo and jersey design parody the Edmonton Oilers, an NHL team which Smith has well-known affection for.

The logo also features an effigy of the Quick Stop Groceries logo, the convenience store where the film takes place. The text with the logo itself is inspired to emulate the shoe polish sign that Dante creates and the beginning of Clerks.

Team History

The Clerks were founded by employees of BHi Brantford, the site where the Walter Gretzky Street Hockey Tournament takes place each year. The staff of BHi Brantford saw how much fun the VASHL division had each year and they wanted to be part of it too.
