Maxime Leboeuf was initially a cross-country skier before coach Daniel Lefebvre persuaded him to switch to biathlon. It is his trainer to this day. Leboeuf starts for the Courcelette club and trains in the national biathlon training center in Valcartier . Since 2003 he has been a member of Canada's national junior team.

Leboeuf has been competing in national and international races since 2004. Internationally, he has been running in the Junior European Cup since that year. The first major event was the 2004 Junior World Championships in Haute-Maurienne , where he was 30th in sprint and individual. Nationally, he won the junior championships in the mass start and the runner-up in the sprint in Valcartier. The following year he repeated these placements in Edmonton . Internationally, he improved at the Junior World Championships in Kontiolahti compared to the previous year. The best result was a8 in the individual. With the relay around Marc-André Bédard and Brendan Green , Leboeuf won the silver medal behind Norway. In 2006, the Canadian did not win any medals at Presque Isle , but placed in the top ten in all four races: fifth in the individual, seventh in the pursuit, tenth in the sprint and eighth in the relay. The 2007 Junior World Championships in Martell ended with less good individual performances, by far the best result was eleventh place in the pursuit . But he won the bronze medal with the season, which now also included Yannick Letailleur . Leboeuf's last Junior World Championship in Ruhpolding in 2008 brought ranks between 14 and 22.

At the North American level and nationally, Leboeuf has been involved in adult races since 2005. He achieved his first major successes here as part of the Biathlon North America Championships in 2005 , where he won both the sprint and the pursuit in Canmore . A year later, François Leboeuf's brother won the Canadian championships on both courses and in singles. In the summer of 2008 he won the silver medal in the individual at the North American Roller Ski Biathlon Championships in Canmore behind his compatriot Scott Perras and was ninth in both sprint and pursuit. In Obertilliach Leboeuf debuted in December 2008 at the IBU Cup and was in his first race 59th in the individual competition.
