Jay McNeill

Jay McNeill is a Canadian retired ice hockey right wing who was an All-American for Colorado College

As a junior, McNeill was the third highest goal-scorer in the nation and was named an All-American. He helped CC reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 17 years. For his final season, McNeill's point production increased for the fourth straight season, helping Colorado College win their third consecutive conference championship. McNeill's team won its first tournament games in 39 years and returned to the championship game for the first time since winning the title in 1957. Their appearance came with a bit of controversy, however, as McNeill's assist on the winning marker appeared to have been a hand pass. Because the NCAA didn't allow the use of replay at the time, the goal was allowed to stand. In the final game, McNeill was held off the scoresheet and the Tigers lost in overtime to Michigan, coincidentally, the same team CC had defeated back in '57.

After graduating, McNeill began his professional career in the ECHL. While he continued to produce points, he didn't receive much interest from AAA teams and headed to Europe in 1998. He spent most of the next decade playing in the lower German leagues, scoring at an incredible pace. In the early '00s, he spent most of three years playing with the Tilburg Trappers and helped the team win the Dutch league championship in 2001. McNeill retired in 2009.
