Lesage played the majority of the career in the Canadian providence of Quebec with stints in USL Premier Development League, USL First Division, and the Canadian Soccer League. His biggest success was with the Trois-Rivières Attak where he is the all-time leading scorer with 31 goals in all competitions, and assisted the club be claiming their first Open Canada Cup and National Division title.

Lesage played college soccer with the UQTR Patriotes for five years. During his university career his achievements were being a member of the CIS all-star team for three years. While still playing for the patriotes he played one season with the Toledo Slayers of the USL Premier Development League in 2004. On April 23, 2005 he signed a contract with the Montreal Impact of the USL First Division. He featured, and played in most per-season matches, but as the season progressed he failed to make a single appearance in an Impact shirt. This led him to go on season loan to the Laval Dynamites and helped the club reach the postseason.
After finishing the season in the Quebec amateur leagues, Lesage was signed by newly expansion franchise Trois-Rivières Attak for the 2007 CSL season. His signing was announced in a press conference on May 2, 2007. He made his Attak debut in 0–0 tie at Toronto Croatia on May 12. He scored his first goal against the Canadian Lions which ended out being the winning goal in 2–1 victory. He soon became an instant impact, forming a strong attacking partnership with Darko Kolic.
