Who are Leo Carlsson’s parents?
LEO Carlsson has made a splash in the hockey world thanks to his size and skills.

Who are Leo Carlsson’s parents?
Over the years, Leo's parents have watched him become one of the top hockey prospects of the 2023 NHL Draft.
They have made several sacrifices along the way and would arguably do anything to help their son succeed, including a last-minute 13-hour road trip to Nashville, Tennessee.
After arriving in New Jersey, weather issues caused his connecting flight to Nashville to get canceled, so his family piled into a minivan and drove 13 hours to make sure he would get to the draft on time.
“I feel for him,” forward Zach Benson said of the situation, via The Associated Press.

“Playing in Winnipeg, we had a couple of 14-hour bus rides overnight. So I definitely feel for him, and I hope he’s still in bed right now.”
This isn't the first time Leo has faced travel struggles. Just a few weeks prior, during the Stanley Cup Final, he had issues with his luggage in Las Vegas, Adam Fantilli revealed.
"Going to Vegas I know he had some tough stuff going on there with luggage and whatever was going there,” Fantilli explained, via The Associated Press.
“Obviously, he had to drive from New York to get here. I think he’s sleeping right now. Yeah, I mean, I feel for him.”
