Jeremy Bracco (born March 17, 1997) is an American professional ice hockey forward who is currently playing with KalPa in the Finnish Liiga. He was selected by the Toronto Maple Leafs, 61st overall, in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.[1][2]

Playing career

Bracco played high school hockey at Portledge School before joining the USA Hockey National Team Development Program (U.S. NTDP). As a member of the U.S. NTDP, he played the 2013–14 and 2014–15 seasons in the United States Hockey League (USHL). Bracco's outstanding play[3] was rewarded when he was invited to skate in the 2014 CCM/USA Hockey All-American Prospects Game.[4]

Bracco committed to play the 2015–16 season with Boston College,[5] but left the college after 5 games to join the Kitchener Rangers of the OHL.[6]

After three seasons within the Maple Leafs organization, playing exclusively with AHL affiliate the Toronto Marlies, Bracco as an impending restricted free agent was not tendered a qualifying offer and was released to free agency.

On October 16, 2020, Bracco was signed to a one-year, two-way, league minimum contract with the Carolina Hurricanes.[7] After attending the Hurricanes training camp for the pandemic delayed 2020–21 season, Bracco was unable to make the roster and was re-assigned to AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves. Prior to the beginning of the AHL season, having secured a lucrative offer abroad, Bracco was placed on unconditional waivers in order to mutually terminate his contract with the Hurricanes on January 26, 2021.[8] He was immediately announced to have signed a European contract for the remainder of the season with Finnish outfit KalPa of the Liiga.[9]

International play

Bracco competed as a member of Team USA at the 2015 IIHF World U18 Championships, where he assisted on the overtime game-winning goal to defeat Finland in the gold medal game.[10]
