Career

MacLeod began attending Boston University after graduating from New Hampton School in 1977. In his freshman season, he helped the university's Terriers team compile one of the best records in program history, going 25–1 in the regular season. The team's championship hopes were seemingly dashed when they lost in the conference semifinals; however, the NCAA was able to add extra teams to the NCAA tournament at the time and Boston was allowed to participate. [1] The Terriers ended up winning the tournament that year and MacLeod's physical play caught the eye of several scouts. That summer, the Boston Bruins selected MacLeod in the 5th round of the NHL draft. [2] Over the next three years, MacLeod increased his offensive output with the Terriers but did so only at a modest pace.

After serving as team captain during his senior season, MacLeod was not offered a contract by the Bruins and became a free agent. He signed his first professional contract with the newly founded Cape Cod Buccaneers. [3] MacLeod was one of the team's top scorers and, though the season was ended abruptly by the dissolution of the franchise, he had performed well enough to receive additional offers and finished the year with the Wichita Wind. MacLeod began his second year of professional hockey in the Central Hockey League but spent most of the season with the Muskegon Mohawks in the IHL. He provided consistent depth scoring for the club but found himself demoted back to the CHL for year three. After just 6 games, he travelled to Finland, where he had a short stint with SaiPa.

MacLeod finished his professional career by playing parts of two seasons with the Virginia Lancers. He retired as a player in 1986.
