List of National Basketball League of Canada season steals leaders

Jujuan Cooley led the league in steals in 2014.

In basketball, a steal is a "defensive action" that causes the opponent to turn the ball over.[1] The National Basketball League of Canada's (NBL) steal title is awarded to the player with the highest steals per game average in a given season. The most recent leader was Kevin Young of the Halifax Rainmen, who won the Defensive Player of the Year Award the same season.[2]
