Hearn's tackle numbers stand out as the defining feature of his World Cup data, averaging close to ten per match and reaching 14 in his best outing — a workload that points to a centre used heavily in defensive organisation. His carry count is steady rather than prolific, with modest metres gained suggesting his primary contribution comes off the ball rather than through it. Across three matches he logs consistently high minutes, underlining his role as a durable, defence-first presence in the Canadian midfield.
