Andrew John LeBlanc (born June 29, 1989) is an American professional ice hockey player currently playing for the Augsburger Panther of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL). He won the Hobey Baker Award in 2013 as the top National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) men's ice hockey player. LeBlanc was born in Duluth, Minnesota, but grew up in Hermantown, Minnesota.
LeBlanc signed a one-year entry level contract with the Chicago Blackhawks on April 12, 2013. He made his NHL debut on April 24, 2013, against the Edmonton Oilers and appeared in two games for the Blackhawks during the 2012–13 NHL season. As a result, the one-year contract that LeBlanc signed in April 2013, concluded on June 30, 2013 and LeBlanc became an unrestricted free agent. On July 19, 2013, he agreed to a two-year contract with the Blackhawks. He would spend the next two seasons playing for the Rockford IceHogs, the Blackhawks' American Hockey League affiliate.
Following the 2014–15 season, the Blackhawks did not extend a qualifying offer to LeBlanc. As a result, he became an unrestricted free agent. On July 10, 2015, LeBlanc signed a one-year contract with the Augsburger Panther of the DEL.
LeBlanc was selected to represent the United States at the 2013 IIHF World Championship.
