Letourneau-Leblond Relishes Role

“I don’t think (fighting) has anything to do with happened,” Letourneau-Leblond said softly. “Until they prove it, I’m going to keep doing what they ask me to do.”

Letourneau-Leblond is a pugilist by trade. At 15, the Levis, Que. native strapped on his headgear and took up Olympic boxing. His record shows four fights and three victories – including two over the Canadian junior heavyweight champion at the time. In the crowd for one of those bouts just happened to be a scout from the Baie-Comeau Drakkar, of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Sensing something special, the scout attended one of the boxer’s hockey games.
