Leskovar, a 6’3”, 183 lbs, left-shot defenseman was selected by the team in the fifth round, 95th overall in the 2020 OHL Priority Selection.

“Growing up in Ontario, it’s been a dream of mine to sign with the OHL,” exclaimed Leskovar. “ The Petes are an amazing organization, I couldn’t ask for much more.”

The Cambridge, Ontario native registered four goals, 21 assists, 25 points and 37 penalty minutes in 31 games with the Cambridge Hawks 2019-2020 season.

In the postseason, Leskovar tallied one goal and five assists for six points in eight games.

“We’re excited to have Steve committed to the Petes,” said Michael Oke, Petes general manager. “He’s a hard-working defenceman that brings size, and strength to the lineup, and is well-linked by teammates and opponents.”

Leskovar will wear number three on his jersey.

The Petes will welcome the Sudbury Wolves to their home opener on Oct. 14 at 7:05 p.m.
