Career

Clowe began his career for the 2000/01 season with the Océanic de Rimouski in the Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec . In his rookie season he reached 25 points scorer in just 32 games and nine more in eleven playoff games, whereupon he was selected in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft in the sixth round in 175th place by the San Jose Sharks .

After two more years at Rimouski and a change within the league to the Rocket de Montréal , in which he had increased his points yield and further improved his skills as a power forward , the Sharks brought him for the 2003/04 season to the Cleveland Barons , theirs former farm team , in the American Hockey League . There he impressed so much that at the end of the season he was voted the most valuable player within the team . His constant and good performance in the AHL in the 2004/05 and 2005/06 seasons meant that he kept commuting between Cleveland and San Jose during the 2005/06 season , which was very varied for the San Jose Sharks, and so came to his first appearances in the National Hockey League . During the regular season, Clowe made 18 games for the Sharks and one in the playoffs. He also started the 2006/07 season in San Jose. On October 29, 2006 he scored his first NHL goal, on January 4, 2007 even his first brace and two days later his first hat trick in the best league in the world. Due to his strong performance in January with 16 points in eleven games, he was voted rookie of the month and finished the season with 34 points from just 58 games. As one of the few Sharks players, Clowe started the 2007/08 season in good form . At the end of October 2007 he injured himself in the eleventh game of the season in San Joses on the ligament apparatus of the knee, whereupon he was out after the following operation on the anterior cruciate ligament for 67 season games until the end of March. Meanwhile, however, he made headlines when he was arrested by police for drunk driving on the morning of December 24th. After his comeback, the Newfoundland dog continued the form he had shown at the start of the season, making him one of the Sharks' top-scoring players in the playoffs.

2016-2018	New Jersey Devils (assistant coach)
2018-2019	Newfoundland Growlers

On April 2, 2013, shortly before the end of his current contract, the striker was transferred to the New York Rangers in exchange for a second and third-round vote in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft . In July 2013, he signed a five-year contract worth $ 24.25 million as a free agent with the New Jersey Devils . The average annual salary was $ 4.85 million. By beginning his time in New Jersey, Clowe had increasing problems with concussions that resulted in the attacker playing his last competitive game in November 2014. Already in the 2015/16 season he worked more closely with the coaching staff and management, so that in July 2016 he switched permanently to the Devils coaching team, where he worked as an assistant under John Hynes until summer 2018 . In June 2018 he was introduced as the first head coach of the newly founded Newfoundland Growlers from the ECHL . However, he handed over this position to his previous assistant John Snowden in January 2019 for health reasons .
