Mike Lee

Michael Lee (born April 25, 1996) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman currently playing for HC Nové Zámky of the Slovak Extraliga.

He was an All-American for Sacred Heart.

Lee debuted for the Pioneers in 2018 and saw a tremendous increase to his production. His arrival in Bridgeport coincided with Sacred Heart winning 16 games and posting its best season in nine years. Lee performed even better in his senior season and was named an All-American as well as the best defenseman in Atlantic Hockey. The Pioneers finished the regular season with 21 wins, tying the program record. Before they could attempt to set a new benchmark, however, the Atlantic Hockey Tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

With his college career finished, Lee was able to sign a one-year contract with the Indy Fuel. While the season was shortened as a result of the pandemic, Lee played well and finished second on the team in terms of defensive points.

Entering the 2021–22 season, Lee returned with a second one-year deal. Having increased his offensive output, Lee was placed sixth in the ECHL in scoring from the blueline with 32 points through 41 games before he was traded by the Fuel to the Kansas City Mavericks on February 17, 2022.
