Multiple sources have confirmed tonight that the Toronto Marlies, the AHL team linked with the Toronto Maple Leafs, have secured a contract with right-handed defenseman Ryan McCleary. Additionally, they have extended Robert Mastrosimone's contract.
The Toronto Marlies have added Ryan McCleary from the WHL's Swift Current Broncos, where he accumulated 36 points in 56 games. Drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2021 but not signed, McCleary later entered the undrafted free agent pool.
Now 20 years old, McCleary is poised to pursue a professional hockey career, with hopes of eventually making his NHL debut.
