**Jordan Douglas Leopold** (born August 3, 1980) is an American former professional [ice hockey](/source/Ice_hockey) [defenseman](/source/Defenceman). He was drafted in the second round, 44th overall, by the [Mighty Ducks of Anaheim](/source/Anaheim_Ducks) in [1999](/source/1999_NHL_Entry_Draft), though never making an appearance with the team. In his NHL career, Leopold played for the [Calgary Flames](/source/Calgary_Flames), [Colorado Avalanche](/source/Colorado_Avalanche), [Florida Panthers](/source/Florida_Panthers), [Pittsburgh Penguins](/source/Pittsburgh_Penguins), [Buffalo Sabres](/source/Buffalo_Sabres), [St. Louis Blues](/source/St._Louis_Blues), [Columbus Blue Jackets](/source/Columbus_Blue_Jackets) and [Minnesota Wild](/source/Minnesota_Wild).

## Playing career

### Junior/Collegiate

Prior to joining the NHL, Leopold played for the Armstrong Falcons[1] of [Plymouth, Minnesota](/source/Plymouth%2C_Minnesota), and went on to play collegiate hockey with the [University of Minnesota](/source/Minnesota_Golden_Gophers_men's_ice_hockey) from 1998 until 2002, where he helped the Golden Gophers win an NCAA national championship despite pressure to leave the University early to play in the NHL. After his first year with Minnesota, scoring 23 points, Leopold was drafted in the [1999 NHL entry draft](/source/1999_NHL_entry_draft) in the second round, 44th overall, by the [Mighty Ducks of Anaheim](/source/Anaheim_Ducks) as a prospective offensive [defenseman](/source/Defenceman). After completing his sophomore season with the Golden Gophers, Leopold became the property of the [Calgary Flames](/source/Calgary_Flames), traded by the Mighty Ducks in exchange for [Andrei Nazarov](/source/Andrei_Nazarov) and a second-round draft pick.[2] In 2001–02, his final season with the University of Minnesota, he won the [Hobey Baker Award](/source/Hobey_Baker_Award) for being the season's outstanding player in college hockey.[3] He also played for the US in the [World Championships](/source/Ice_Hockey_World_Championships) that year.

### Professional

Leopold with the [Flames](/source/Calgary_Flames) during the [2008–09 season](/source/2008%E2%80%9309_NHL_season)

Leopold started his professional career in the NHL in [2002](/source/2002%E2%80%9303_NHL_season). He played 58 games for the [Calgary Flames](/source/Calgary_Flames) and scored four goals and 14 points. In his second season, Leopold would play in all 82 regular season games, scoring 33 points as well as contributing to the Flames' playoff run to the [2004 Stanley Cup Finals](/source/2004_Stanley_Cup_Finals), play which earned him a spot in the defense of the [American national team](/source/United_States_men's_national_ice_hockey_team) for the [2005 World Championships](/source/2005_Men's_World_Ice_Hockey_Championships) as well as for the [2006 Winter Olympics](/source/Ice_hockey_at_the_2006_Winter_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Men's_tournament).

After one more season with the Flames, Leopold was traded to the [Colorado Avalanche](/source/Colorado_Avalanche) at the [2006 NHL entry draft](/source/2006_NHL_entry_draft).[4] Leopold's first season with the Avalanche, in [2006–07](/source/2006%E2%80%9307_NHL_season), was all but wiped out due to injury. Having missed the first 25 games of the season recovering from [hernia](/source/Hernia) surgery,[5] he then suffered a groin injury on December 11, 2006, ruling him out for another 17 games.[6] Just a month later, Leopold was injured again, fracturing his wrist on February 17, 2007, effectively missing the rest of the season, and playing in just 15 games.[7] At season's end, Leopold was re-signed by the Avalanche to a two-year contract on May 22, 2007.[8]

In the [2007–08 season](/source/2007%E2%80%9308_NHL_season), Leopold was again struck down by another injury-plagued season. Throughout the course of the season, he missed 35 games with a hip ailment, lacerated leg and [pneumonia](/source/Pneumonia).[9] He also suffered a concussion when he was hit high by [Steve Ott](/source/Steve_Ott) on March 9, 2008.[10] Ott was subsequently suspended for three games.

Leopold recovered to full health in time for the [2008–09 season](/source/2008%E2%80%9309_NHL_season). He played in every game with the Avalanche until the [NHL trade deadline](/source/NHL_trade_deadline), when he was traded back to the Calgary Flames for [Lawrence Nycholat](/source/Lawrence_Nycholat), prospect [Ryan Wilson](/source/Ryan_Wilson_(ice_hockey)) and a second-round draft pick.[11] Leopold then played all 19 games for the Flames, becoming the first Flames player to play 83 games of an 82-game season,[12] a feat that [Ian White](/source/Ian_White_(ice_hockey)) would repeat in 2010.[13]

On June 27, 2009, as an impending free agent, Leopold's negotiation rights were traded by the Flames to the [Florida Panthers](/source/Florida_Panthers), for the negotiation rights of [Jay Bouwmeester](/source/Jay_Bouwmeester), at the [2009 NHL entry draft](/source/2009_NHL_entry_draft).[14] After testing free-agency, Leopold signed a one-year contract with the Panthers on July 2, 2009.[15]

In the [2009–10](/source/2009%E2%80%9310_NHL_season) season, Leopold scored seven goals and 18 points in 61 games with the Panthers. On March 1, 2010, he was then traded to the [Pittsburgh Penguins](/source/Pittsburgh_Penguins) for a second-round draft pick in the [2010 NHL entry draft](/source/2010_NHL_entry_draft).[16] On April 16, 2010, in Game 2 of a playoff series between the Penguins and the [Ottawa Senators](/source/Ottawa_Senators), Leopold's series was ended by a devastating hit from Senators defenseman [Andy Sutton](/source/Andy_Sutton). Leopold, who had a history of concussion injuries, remained unconscious on the ice for several minutes.[17] Leopold later returned to the Pens' lineup for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semi-final matchup against the [Montreal Canadiens](/source/Montreal_Canadiens).

Leopold with the [Sabres](/source/Buffalo_Sabres) in [2012](/source/2011%E2%80%9312_NHL_season)

On July 1, 2010, Leopold left the Penguins as a free agent and signed a three-year contract with the [Buffalo Sabres](/source/Buffalo_Sabres).[18]

In the final year of his contract with the Sabres, during the [lockout](/source/2012_NHL_lockout)-shortened [2012–13](/source/2012-13_NHL_season) season, he was traded to the [St. Louis Blues](/source/St._Louis_Blues) in exchange for a second-round pick and a conditional fifth-round pick in the [2013 NHL entry draft](/source/2013_NHL_entry_draft) on March 30, 2013.[19]

In the [2014–15 season](/source/2014%E2%80%9315_NHL_season), with limited playing time in St. Louis, on November 15, 2014, Leopold was traded from the Blues to the [Columbus Blue Jackets](/source/Columbus_Blue_Jackets) in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick in [2016](/source/2016_NHL_Entry_Draft).[20] Leopold played 18 games with the Blue Jackets, registering one goal and two assists, before he joined his third team in the year when he was dealt to the [Minnesota Wild](/source/Minnesota_Wild) in exchange for [Justin Falk](/source/Justin_Falk) and a fifth-round pick in [2015](/source/2015_NHL_Entry_Draft) on March 2, 2015.[21]

## Personal life

Leopold and his wife Jamie have three daughters and a son.[22] Leopold's trade to the Minnesota Wild, marking a return to his home state, gained the attention of media outlets after it was revealed that one of his daughters wrote a letter to the Minnesota Wild coaching staff asking for them to trade for Jordan to be closer to family.[23] He now owns and runs a wedding venue, Leopold's Mississippi Gardens, in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.
