Playing career

After attending Hamden High school and the Gunnery Prep school, Lee finished High School in Penticton British Columbia while joining the Penticton Vees and helping the club win both the league championship and the Western Canada Cup in 2015. He was able to earn a college scholarship to Vermont on the back of his stellar season. After his sophomore year, Lee left Vermont and transferred to Sacred Heart, closer to his hometown.[2]

Lee debuted for the Pioneers in 2018 and saw a tremendous increase to his production. His arrival in

Atlantic Hockey Tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

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.[5] 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.[6]
