Regular Season Statistics with the Franchise
Stats in bold signifies team leader.
Leach has spent a lot of time in the minors since he's been a pro, most of those years being in the Boston Bruins organization. A
natural backdrop for him, too. Their AHL team is in Providence, where he played his college hockey.

He did get to appear in 2 games for Boston, as well as 2 for the Tampa Bay Lightning.

He signed with the Devils to give veteran depth for Lowell. Of course, the need for the top club to have him was to be revealed
thanks to the massive list of injuries.

A little bit of trivia, too: he currently lives in New Jersey... Ridgefield, I think? I'll have to ask a friend of mine who is
buddy-buddy with him.
