His best season with the Spokane Chiefs was Leeb's last. During the 1997/98 season, the Canadian completed 68 games and was able to achieve 96 points, as well as a plus / minus statistic of +30.

After the attacker drew attention to himself there with good performances and was later able to convince the Utah Grizzlies , he got the chance to prove himself in the NHL. During the 2000/01 season Leeb was used twice by the Dallas Stars, but could not achieve a scorer point. Finally, the Canadian signed a contract as a free agent with the Edmonton Oilers , which, like the Dallas Stars before, only used him in their farm team, the Hamilton Bulldogs .

His contract was not extended at the end of the 2001/02 season, so the striker moved to Europe to join the Augsburg Panthers in the German Ice Hockey League . Greg Leeb was able to convince with the Panthers and scored 31 points in 51 games. For the 2003/04 season , the left shooter joined the Nürnberg Ice Tigers , with whom he was able to celebrate the German runner- up in 2007 . A year later, in 2008, Leeb took part with his team after winning the main round of the 2007/08 season in the qualification for the newly founded Champions Hockey League , in which the team failed at SC Bern and HC Košice . Greg Leeb went on the ice with his brother Brad for the Thomas Sabo Ice Tigers as the new captain in the 2010/11 season .

In June 2012 he was signed by the Coventry Blaze from the Elite Ice Hockey League , where he played again with his brother in a team and ended his active career following the 2012/13 season.
