Alexandra Clarke is a Canadian ice hockey official, serving as a linesperson in the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) and in international competition.[1] In 2021, she became the first woman to serve as a linesperson in the Western Hockey League (WHL) and the Canadian Hockey League (CHL).[2]
A retired ice hockey defenceman, Clarke played four seasons of NCAA Division III hockey at the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, Minnesota, serving as team captain in her final season (2014–15).[2]
Clarke played four years at the College of St. Scholastica, appearing in 107 regular season games and recording 63 points (12 goals, 51 assists) as a defenceman.[2] In 2015, she was drafted 53rd overall by the Calgary Inferno of the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL).[1] Her playing career ended in 2015 after a knee injury, which she later attributed to being kicked by a cow on her family farm, resulting in a lingering issue that prevented her from training and attending camp.[1]
