Right-winger Brad Leeb spent parts of five seasons in the WHL with the Red Deer Rebels and improved his goal and point totals in each of those years culminating with a 32-goal, 79-point effort in 1998-99. However, he delivered his solid season as an over-age player and was not drafted so he made the leap to professional hockey as a free agent.
In October of 1999 Leeb inked a deal with the Vancouver Canucks and spent two games with the NHL club during that rookie season. The rest of that year was spent in the AHL with the Syracuse Crunch where he scored 19 goals and 37 points in 61 games. The following year he spent entirely in the minors, this time in the IHL with the Kansas City Blades, and he posted similar numbers with 18 goals and 34 points.
In 2001-02 he continued to show great consistency by scoring 17 goals and 32 points, this time with the AHL's Manitoba Moose, and returned to the Canucks lineup for two games during that season. After three seasons in the Vancouver organization, Leeb was dealt to the Toronto Maple Leafs in the summer of 2002. Upon joining the Leafs, Leeb would spend the majority of his time with the club's AHL affiliate in St. John's where he continued to put some impressive numbers, leading the team in scoring during the 2002-03 season with 61 points (35-26-61).
Following a solid season in 2002-03, Leeb returned to St. John's in 2003-04 and continued his strong play and was sumoned to the main squad throughout the season.
On the international stage, Leeb represented Canada at the 1999 World Junior Championships.
