History
After playing for Christian Brothers Academy, Lee made the move to Canterbury in 2002-03 and led all of New England prep school hockey in goal-scoring with 39 goals.
Noticed by San Jose, the Sharks drafted Lee late in the ninth round of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft in June, and three months later Lee committed to Northeastern University for the 2004-05 season.
Lee returned to Canterbury for the 2003-04 season and was named to the New England Prep School Ice Hockey Associations Division I West All-Star Team.
Talent Analysis
A power forward with a 6'2" 200-pound frame, Lee possesses a cannon slap shot, as well as a strong snap shot and wrist shot. Generally considered a sniper, Lee is also a decent skater with decent speed.
Lee is also a competitive player with a good work ethic and strong determination. The ninth round pick is also a quiet leader who leads by example.
Will have to adapt to stronger defenseman at Hockey East level use size to his advantage more offensively and defensively.
Future
Lee should earn a regular shift in 2004-05 with Northeastern University, potentially as high as the second line before the year is out.
Short on snipers, Lee should become one of Northeastern's top scorers before he graduates.
Possessing the frame of a power forward, Lee should become a solid power forward at the AHL level. With additional strength and aggressiveness, Lee could become an upgrade over Shark prospect Ryane Clowe, as Lee's cannon shot is dangerous at any level.
Given the demand for power forwards, and San Jose's need for wingers with size in the system, Lee could become a secondary NHL power forward playing on the third or fourth line with the ability to pitch in goals, potentially playing on the second power play unit as well.
