College career

Leveille played college lacrosse at UMass from 2000 to 2003. At UMass, Leveille was a three-time USILA All-American. [1]

Playing under head coach Greg Cannella, Leveille is one of the most notable players in UMass lacrosse history. Captaining the team in 2003 alongside Tom Fallon and Chris Fiore, Leveille helped lead the Minutemen to a 13-3 record, No. 5 final national ranking, and an appearance in the quarterfinals of the 2003 NCAA Division I men's lacrosse tournament.

Leveille’s name as of 2025 still litters the UMass lacrosse record book. His 7 goals and 3 assists against Stony Brook on March 1, 2003 is still the most recent 10+ point game at UMass. He is also 9th in games played, 14th in points, and 10th in goals in program history. [2]

Professional career

MLL

He was a member of the Rochester Rattlers in Major League Lacrosse, playing the attack position. He was traded to Rochester Rattlers before the 2006 season started, and led the team in goals during its inaugural season. [3]

Previously, Leveille had been a member of the Boston Cannons from 2003 to 2005. In 2004 he won the Major League Lacrosse Most Improved Player of the Year Award. In 2005 he played in the MLL All Star Game. The highlight of the 2005 Season was in Week 5 when he tied MLL record for goals in a game with 9 vs. BAL on July 31, 2005. After Rochester lost in the Steinfeld Cup, a couple days later he retired. Leveilles' number 19 is likely to be retired in the 2015 season.
