Chase Bradley

Chase Raymond Bradley (born January 9, 2002) is an American professional ice hockey player who is a forward for the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract with the Nashville Predators of the National Hockey League (NHL). The Detroit Red Wings selected Bradley in the seventh round, 203rd overall, of the 2020 NHL entry draft.

Early life Bradley was born January 9, 2002, in St. Louis, Missouri, as one of Mark and Jennifer Bradley's five children. He grew up playing ice hockey with his siblings in a backyard barn that was remodeled into a rink. Bradley began attending Oakville High School in 2016 and spent two years on the school's hockey team, but his size and skills pushed him to more competitive teams. The Omaha Lancers of the United States Hockey League (USHL) signed Bradley to a contract ahead of the 2018–19 USHL season. The Lancers traded Bradley to the Sioux City Musketeers in March 2020, but due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, he did not begin play with his new team until the 2020–21 season. Between 2018 and 2021, Bradley had 32 goals and 63 points in 123 junior ice hockey games.
