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]
