Mike Lee
Edit ProfileCareer
He was drafted in the third round (91st overall) by the Phoenix Coyotes in the 2009 National Hockey League Entry Draft. Lee was born in Fargo, North Dakota, but grew up in Roseau, Minnesota. Despite being an expansion team, Lee led the Force to the USHL playoff finals.
As a high school goaltender, Lee helped the Roseau Rams to the Minnesota state hockey championship.
Lee was the first American goalie selected in the 2009 draft. He also played on the gold-medal winning United States of America team at the 2010 IIHF World Juniors.
Lee started for Team United States of America in the gold medal game, but was relieved by Jack Campbell in the second period. When the Coyotes traded away backup goalie Devan Dubnyk, Lee was called up to be Mike Smith"s new backup, putting Lee in the National Hockey League for the first time.
However, he was sent down in favor of Mike McKenna before entering a game.
