Kevin Leveille (born August 18, 1981) is an American lacrosse player from Delmar, New York. As a child, Kevin played youth hockey for the TAYHA Chiefs before finding his true calling as a lacrosse prodigy. Eventually his skills landed him on the UMass Minutemen lacrosse team, and as a senior, he was named to the All-American Team.

Professional career

MLL

He was a member of the Rochester Rattlers in Major League Lacrosse, playing the attack position. He was traded to Rochester Rattlers before the 2006 season started, and led the team in goals during its inaugural season.[1]

Previously, Leveille had been a member of the Boston Cannons from 2003-05. In 2004 he won the Major League Lacrosse Most Improved Player of the Year Award. In 2005 he played in the MLL All Star Game. The highlight of the 2005 Season was in Week 5 when he tied MLL record for goals in a game with 9 vs. BAL on July 31, 2005. After Rochester lost in the Steinfeld Cup, a couple days later he retired. Leveilles' number 19 is likely to be retired in the 2015 season.
