Each month, the Fortune Tires “Expect More” AHL Player of the Month award recognizes one standout player from the league for exceptional performance. Fortune Tires, the official band of the AHL, will contribute $500 to the player’s charity – and $2,500 to the Player of the Year charity – highlighting the company’s commitment to both excellence and community impact.
Leonard recorded nine goals – including three game-winners – and seven assists for 16 points in 10 games for the league leaders last month. He scored twice in a 6–2 win over Rockford on November 2 and made three-point efforts on November 19 in Rockford and November 25 in Texas. Leonard ended November with the decisive goal in back-to-back wins over Iowa, a 3-2 decision on November 28 and a 1-0 win on November 30.
Leonard, a fifth-year pro from Amherst, Mass., leads the AHL with 15 goals and ranks first with 24 points in 15 games with the Griffins this season.
