The University of Toronto Varsity Blues are excited to share the appointment of Jonathan Leclerc as Varsity Blues men's lacrosse head coach, effective immediately.

"I am honoured to represent U of T and the legacy of this program, and I am feeling privileged to lead such a group of bright, dedicated young men," said Leclerc. "We are going to get out on the field every day and strive to be great, until it becomes a habit, and then we will let the habit speak for itself."

Leclerc served as an assistant coach for the U of T men's lacrosse program last season, helping return the Varsity Blues to the CUFLA postseason. He has additionally coached with the Oshawa Blue Knights and Whitby Minor Lacrosse.

As a player, Leclerc competed for two seasons with the University of Richmon Spiders, an NCAA Division I field lacrosse program. Following his time in Virginia, Leclerc returned to Canada and competed as a member of the Trent University Excalibur, making Baggataway final appearances and garnering CUFLA All-Canadian honours twice.

Across his career he has also competed with the Clarington Green Gaels, Whitby Steelhawks, and Brooklin Lacrosse Club.

Leclerc holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from the University of Richmond and a Bachelor of Business Administration, specializing in Marketing and Finance from Trent University.
