The Clerks<\/strong> were introduced as an expansion team for the 2014 tournament.<\/p>\n

The team name and imagery were based on the 1994 comedy film, Clerks.<\/em><\/a>, written and directed by Kevin Smith.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Clerks<\/em> 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 <\/span>Edmonton Oilers<\/a>, an NHL team which Smith has well-known affection for.<\/span><\/p>\n

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<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the Clerks franchise disbanded and is no longer active in VASHL competition. Though they may no longer take to the rink, their legacy lives on, having secured two Walter Gretzky Cup<\/strong><\/a> championships and leaving an undeniable mark on league history.<\/p>\n
