2008-09: Lepkowski played for St. Francis High School (NY) in the MPHL. In 40 games he scored 6 goals with 20 assists. Lepkowski was selected by the Saginaw Spirit in the 3rd Round (66th overall) in the OHL Priority Draft.

2009-10: Lepkowski saw limited ice time in his first year with the Saginaw Spirit. In 53 games, he had 39 PMs and was +7 with 1 assist. Lepkowski played in three of the Spirit’s six playoff games but was scoreless with no PMs and an even plus-minus.

2010-11: Lepkowski began the season with Saginaw before being traded to the Barrie Colts at the January deadline. In 24 games with West Division-leading Saginaw, he was +5 with 3 assists and accumulated 33 PMs but saw limited ice time. In Barrie, Lepkowski replaced over-age captain and Blue Jackets draftee Dalton Prout’s physical presence while getting the chance to receive a lot more ice time for the last-place Colts. While nagging injuries limited him to 15 games with Barrie, he saw significantly more ice time and was -8 with 3 assists and 42 PMs. Lepkowski was selected by the Sabres in the 5th round (137th overall) of the 2011 NHL Draft.
