History.
McLeod played junior hockey for the Moose Jaw Canucks from 1947-49 then joined the Rangers in 1949. Over the next five seasons he played in 106 games, scoring 14 goals and 23 assists. A lot of his time was spent in the minors with the Saskatoon Quakers. His experience with the Rangers ended in 1955 and he spent another five years in the Western Hockey League with the Quakers, Calgary Stampeders, and Vancouver Canucks.
In 1960 he left professional hockey. He played senior amateur hockey and joined the Trail Smoke Eaters as they won the World Championship in 1961. McLeod was picked up again by the Galt Terriers for the World Championship in 1962 (where they won the silver medal) and again by the Trail Smoke Eaters in the World Championship in 1963. He was also playing for the Moose Jaw Pla-Mors and the Saskatoon Quakers. He was the player-coach of the Moose Jaw Pla-Mors in 1964-65. 
Father David Bauer recruited McLeod to become the next coach of the Canada men's national ice hockey team since they had a similar style of being good listeners to players. He played in a few games in 1965-66 before retiring as a player. He continued as a coach until the team disbanded in 1970. The team won a bronze medal in the 1968 Olympics. In 1972 he became coach and general manager of the junior Saskatoon Blades of the Western Hockey League. While there he was coach of Canada's team in the 1975 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships. 
McLeod retired in 1980. In 1984 he was inducted into the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame. In 1999 he was inducted into the International Hockey Hall of Fame.
