Growing up in Montreal and having every kid in town fantasizing on becoming a professional hockey player and playing for the Montreal Canadiens is a must. The same is true for Alexandre LeClair who for a long time debated between joining the QMJHL for hockey or whether to go through the NCAA route to pursue a Football scholarship. Playing hockey, LeClair was actually a pretty solid Center for his high school team. His best friend, Alex Light (pro SHL player on the West Kendall Platoon), was on the same team as him and the two made quite the pair, to the extent that scouts from the QMJHL were looking to snag the two as a pair. The difference between them though is that LeClair also enjoyed Football and with a strong Canadian Football system in the province of Quebec the support was there for LeClair to rise to national glory.

However it wasn’t until the last year of high school where he received a substantial scholarship offer from Northwestern, after winning the Canadian high school national football championship, that he made the decision to pursue his career on green field. Eventually the young quarterback joined the NSFL in its inaugural season. He eventually made a position change to Wide Receiver and the rest, as they say, is history.
