Prior to BSU

McLeod came to Bemidji State after playing two seasons in the Central Junior Hockey League (CJHL) playing the majority of that time with Ottawa... in 2008-09 he piled up 28 goals, 41 assists for 69 points to finish as the Junior Senator’s leading scorer and rank 16th in the CJHL...

Assembled a 13-game scoring strand stretching from Nov. 27, 2008 to Jan. 14, 2009, which included nine goals and 14 assists.

A proven special teams threat, nearly 36-percent of his junior hockey points have come on the power-play (16-37=53) with seven goals and 21 assists coming in 2008-09 alone.

A native of Ottawa, Ontario, McLeod is a veteran of the CJHL. A year ago he posted 20-32=52 points for the Jr. Senators before being traded to Brockville for a playoff run. The centerman posted 11 goals and 15 assists in 20 games for Brockville helping the Braves to a post-season berth. In five playoff contests, he rolled up five assists, with two coming on the power play, as the Braves made it to the second round before falling to Smiths Falls and exiting the playoffs. In the off-season, Ottawa reclaimed the rights to McLeod.

McLeod joins CJHL alumnus Darcy Findlay on the BSU roster in 2009-10... Findlay played his junior hockey career with the CJHL’s Cornwall Colts.
