Ryan Leonard's 2024-25 season was a remarkable journey from the Boston College Eagles to the Washington Capitals. After turning 20 in January, Leonard ended his season on a high note despite the Capitals' playoff loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. While he made his NHL debut and scored his first goal during a historic night, Leonard is unable to join the Hershey Bears for their Calder Cup Playoffs. As a 2023 first-round pick, he had a standout college season, leading in goals and points, and was named MVP at the 2025 World Juniors.
Leonard concluded a whirlwind year after transitioning from Boston College to the NHL, ultimately facing the reality that he cannot join the AHL playoff run.
Despite making his NHL debut and scoring, Leonard is ineligible for AHL playoffs because college players must sign ATOs and not participate in NHL games.
