He has decades of scouting experience for the Swift Current Broncos from 1998 to 2018, where he helped construct the Broncos squad that won the WHL's Ed Cynowith Cup in 2018, before moving on to help the Saskatoon Blades until being hired by Everett in 2022.Before becoming a scout, Leavold was a coach for many years, and is the proud father of former NHL prospect, and Mental Health Advocate, Brady Leavold.In this episode Brian and Jason discuss the scouting process, and what the 'intangibles' are.If you have ever wondered how much weight scouts put on a player's character, or his parents' attitude, or if a less-than stellar weekend performance results in being scratched off a scout's watchlist, listen to this informative podcast.
