Louis Jean Joseph Leblanc (born January 26, 1991) is a Canadian retired professional ice hockey centre. Leblanc played minor hockey in the Montreal region before he moved to the United States in 2008, where he played one season with the Omaha Lancers of the United States Hockey League (USHL) and was named Rookie of the Year. Eligible for the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, he was selected 18th overall by the Montreal Canadiens. He then enrolled at Harvard University and spent one season with the Crimson, being named Ivy League rookie of the year, before he signed a contract with the Canadiens in 2010. Leblanc joined the Montreal Juniors later that year, who had earlier acquired his Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) playing rights.
Leblanc spent three seasons with the Canadiens, mainly playing for their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliates, before being traded in 2014 to the Anaheim Ducks, who kept Leblanc in the AHL. In 2015 Leblanc moved to Europe, joining HC Slovan Bratislava of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), though only played seven games for them before being released; he subsequently signed with Lausanne HC of the Swiss National League A, appearing in four games for them. Leblanc retired from hockey shortly after that. Internationally Leblanc played in the 2011 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships for Canada, where he helped them win a silver medal; it was the second time he had played in an international tournament, having played at the 2008 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament, where Canada won the gold medal.
