Simon's childhood was all about hockey. He started really young, because his dad and his older brothers were already playing. He wanted to do just like the grown-ups, so he pick up a stick basically as soon as he could walk. Then, he played a lot with kids in the neighborhood, because every kid plays hockey where LeBlanc comes from. He was a little bit better than these kids, because LeBlanc played hockey so much. His defensive play style was also present in his early days. It did drag him down, because he wouldn't like to go shoot on net at all. LeBlanc always has been crazy about hockey. During the winter, he was always outside playing, and during the summer, he would play dek hockey so that he could still play. No matter what was the weather outside or how much homework he had to do, he was always ready to play hockey.
