01 The path

Three stages. One continuous journey.

Every LEO athlete moves through the same progression — developed, prepared, advanced — at their own pace, under one plan and one accountable relationship.

Stage 011 / 3

Develop.

Build the athlete

Development starts with an honest read of the player across Game, Body and Mind — skills, strength, confidence and habits. A baseline is measured, goals are agreed with the family, and a plan is built around the athlete.

Stage 022 / 3

Prepare.

Sharpen for the next level

Training, coaching, academies and competition are aligned to the season ahead. Progress is measured against benchmarks and the plan is adjusted as the athlete grows — on and off the ice.

Stage 033 / 3

Advance.

Step into the next opportunity

When the athlete is ready, LEO navigates the real routes forward — junior hockey, NCAA and U Sports collegiate, and professional pathways — with clear documentation and decisions the whole family understands.

02 The framework

One system across five dimensions

Teams, coaches, trainers, academies and advisors each hold a piece of the puzzle — but no one is responsible for the whole athlete. LEO coordinates every dimension of a player's growth under one accountable plan.

01

Profile

Every relationship begins with five questions: the athlete, the goal, the development need, the pathway, and the plan. A clear, honest read of where the player is — and where the path can take them.

02

Prepare

Development managed across Game, Body, Mind, Path and Progress — coaching, training and exposure aligned to the season ahead, coordinated under one plan.

03

Progress

Measured, documented growth the family can trust — and navigation of real advancement: junior hockey, NCAA and U Sports collegiate, and professional pathways.

03 Partner network

Specialized expertise. One accountable relationship.

LEO doesn't need to own every capability an athlete requires. We manage the athlete relationship while a vetted network of partners delivers the expertise, technology and opportunities around them.

Affiliated Agencies

Representation without restrictions.

Some athletes choose LEO for representation. Others already have an agent — or choose one later. They all remain LEO Athletes. LEO develops the athlete and manages the journey; independent agents become LEO Affiliates. That distinction is fundamental: LEO doesn't need to capture an athlete's future representation to justify the value it delivers today.
