"Mike had a tremendous career here at St. Cloud State and has played a key role in the success of our program over the past three seasons," SCSU coach Bob Motzko said.  "Mike's skills and play-making abilities placed him among the best in college hockey, and he will certainly be remembered as one of the premiere goalies in the history of the Husky hockey program at St. Cloud State.

"We thank Mike for all of his contributions to our program and wish him the best as he embarks on his professional hockey career." 

Lee led Team USA to the gold medal game at the 2010 IIHF World Junior Championship in Saskatoon, Sask., posting an undefeated record of 4-0 with a 2.50 GAA and a .908 SV% in five games. Lee recorded the third-best SV% among tournament goaltenders.
