Leah always knew she couldn’t be a Hockey player like her father or grandfather but one thing she knew, she loves Hockey and she wants to continue her family legacy in Hockey.

She grew up with her sister Lindsay Hextall in Portage and attended McIsaac School. Their father and mother have raised their daughter free-spiritedly. Because of which the girls never hesitated to do something new in their life. Her father sadly passed away in July 2019.

Leah has kept her personal life very private. Being a media person she knows how to keep her personal life away from the peeping eyes of the media. So it is unclear whether she is married or she has been divorced.

Her Instagram account also doesn’t suggest she is in any kind of relationship. Her posts and pictures contain herself or her family portrait or her dog. So it seems as of now Leah might be single and focusing on creating more history.
