Michael McLeod

On April 3, 2018, McLeod was assigned to the Binghamton Devils of the American Hockey League following the conclusion of his OHL career. McLeod was recalled for the first time by the Devils on November 29, following Jean-Sébastien Dea being picked up on waivers by the Pittsburgh Penguins. He made his NHL debut the following night in a 6–3 loss to the Washington Capitals, and was sent back to the Binghamton Devils the following day.

He is the older brother to Ryan McLeod, who is a member of the Edmonton Oilers organization after being drafted by them in the 2018 Entry Draft 40th overall. His other brother, Matt McLeod, played for Canisius College. He is close friends with current Devil Nathan Bastian, as both were line-mates with the Steelheads of the OHL.

On October 7, 2016, the Devils signed McLeod to a three-year entry-level contract. In a preseason game on September 25, 2017, McLeod tore his meniscus in his left knee and required arthroscopic surgery. When he was activated from injured reserve he was reassigned to the Mississauga Steelheads.

McLeod played minor hockey with the Toronto Marlboros of the Greater Toronto Hockey League. In 2014, he led his team to capture the OHL Cup and was awarded the Tim Adams Memorial Trophy as the OHL Cup's most valuable player.

McLeod was drafted by the Mississauga Steelheads in the 1st round (5th overall) of the 2014 OHL Priority Selection, and has played with the Steelheads since the 2014–15 OHL season.
