Leroy’s accomplishments were unparalleled - three time All-Canadian as well as a three-time OQIFC all-star. In 1988 Leroy was the recipient of the President’s Trophy presented to the top defensive player in the CIAU. In January 1989 Leroy participated in the prestigious East-West Shrine Bowl game in Palo Alto, California – a rare honour for a CIAU player.
