2021 NWHL Draft Prospect Profile: Madie Leidt

F Madie Leidt, Middlebury (NESCAC - DIII)

Hometown: Killingworth, Connecticut

Middlebury has long been one of the most successful Division III programs in the country, and often attract players that would have been successful at the Division I level had they chosen to do so. Leidt has Division I physical tools – she’s a great skater, has a lightning-quick release, and fantastic hands, and has put them to good use in her career – tallying 45 goals and 87 points in 82 games with the Panthers over the past three years. I sometimes worry about her decision-making and vision, which could mean she would be more of a point and aim player at the next level than a true play-driver, but the toolset and production are both intriguing.
