Leo was born in Hollywood, CA of a deep Russian heritage and now resides in Laguna Niguel, CA. Leo became a member of the LA Quakes in 2004 after being pursued by Quakes scouts over 5 years. Leo's European style of hockey brought the Quakes organization up to the level of most of the other teams in the league that have seen a large influx of European born players making the long journey to play in this highly regarded league. Leo is a big tough center who is a master at faceoffs leading the league with an amazing 82% faceoff's won. Leo is a huge asset in that it puts the Quakes on the offensive quickly when his line is on the ice. The Stefanov family is well known the world over for their mastery of fine Russian Beer Brewerys throughout the Soviet Union.
