It surprised me to find out Brady Cleveland played less than ten minutes in this game because it felt like he was out there more. Maybe that’s just due to the massive presence he quite literally carries with him with every shift. Anyone familiar with the USNTDP knows Cleveland is a gigantic player with a ton of reach, surprising mobility and the tenacity to send players 15 rows up into the stands. That’s what happened in this game specifically and Cleveland stood out quite frequently because of it. A specific hit in the second period was, by far and away, the most notable hit of the game as he launched a catastrophic hit towards a Team White forechecker that basically bounced him like a basketball. Cleveland’s combination of size and ferocity will do him exceptionally well over the next few years and his physical impact in this game is just the most recent example of why. Players carry hesitance against him, knowing a mistake means a nasty hit against them that they can’t easily leverage to their advantage with a side-step or a reverse hit. It’s what makes Brady Cleveland such a fierce presence, a player that’s naturally on the path towards the NHL even if it isn’t for a laudy top four role.
