Personal

Cooper McLeod first stepped into skates at 10 months old at a roller rink and started competing when he was 3 years old. He made the move to ice when he was 8 years old and hasn't looked back since. His favorite skating moment of his career so far was breaking through and making his first World Cup team after years of almost making teams. He says the feeling was 'unmatched.' Outside of skating, Cooper loves to play music on guitar and if he wasn't skating he'd be pole vaulting, which he says is "super fun and just a little bit crazy so you feel like you are living on the edge."
