The Buffalo Bandits today announced the team has acquired forward Emerson Clark from the Las Vegas Desert Dogs in exchange for the playing rights to goaltender Kurtis Wagar. The trade is pending league approval.

Clark (5’10”, 205 lbs., 12/17/1992) has played in five career NLL games with the Las Vegas Desert Dogs. The Whitby, Ontario native has totaled one point (1+0) and five loose-ball recoveries in his career. Clark was originally drafted in the fourth round (35th overall) in the 2013 NLL Entry Draft by the Toronto Rock.

Prior to signing with Las Vegas during the 2022-23 season, Clark spent seven seasons playing professional hockey in the American Hockey League (AHL) and ECHL.
