The son of legendary German hockey player Peter Draisaitl and his wife Sandra, from an early age Leon started honing his ice hockey skills. He played for the Jungadler Mannheim U18 of the German Development League, and during his one season with the club, Leon led his team to the championship trophy, earning the DNL Player of the Year Award, before moving overseas and joining the Prince Albert Raiders of the Canadian Hockey League in Saskatchewan.
He then spent the next two seasons playing for the Prince Albert Raiders, compiling a total of 105 points in his second season, which earned him an All-Star selection. He was then drafted as the third overall pick by the Edmonton Oilers in the NHL 2014 Entry Draft, and in his rookie season played in 37 games, but didn’t contribute much to his team, with only two goals and seven assists, so he then spent a season with the Kelowna Rockets, which he led to WHL Championship Finals, which earned him the MVP of the Finals award.

In the 2015-2016 season, Leon played in 72 games for the Oilers, and had 51 points, while in the 2016-2017 season, Leon featured in 82 games, scoring 29 goals and adding 48 assists to his name, thus setting the record with most points ever by a German player in the NHL.
