History
McBain attended the USA Hockey Select 15 and 16 camps.
2003-04: McBain played in 73 games for the Shattuck St. Mary’s Prep School, recording 33 points (six goals, 27 assists) helping the team achieve a record of 63-3-7.
2004-05: McBain made an immediate presence with the U-17 team. In 62 games Mcbain recorded 19 points (three goals, 16 assists) and 42 PIM. He also recorded an assist at the Four Nations Cup and was named the Most Outstanding Defenseman. He also played in the 2005 World U-17 Hockey Challenge recording a goal and three assists.
2005-06: McBain played a very strong season for the U-18 team. In 55 games McBain recorded 30 points (nine goals, 21 assists) and 41 PIM. His 30 points were the second most points for a defenseman on the U-18 squad. He also had six power play goals, the second most PPG for a U-18 defenseman. McBain also played in 21 games against NCAA opponents, recording six points (three goals, three assists) and 33 PIM.
2006-07: McBain appeared in 36 games as a freshman and scored three goals (all on the power play and one of which was a game winner), and added 15 assists. That led the Badger defense in scoring and tied him for fifth on the team overall. That’s a little more impressive because he also missed time for the World Juniors where he represented the U.S. and helped them to a bronze medal.
2007-08: McBain improved on last year’s numbers with Wisconsin, scoring five goals and adding 19 assists while cutting his penalty minutes in half to 18. The sophomore blueliner spent most of the season paired with freshman — and the 12th overall pick in the 2007 NHL Draft — Ryan McDonagh, helping the new Badger grow accustomed to the speed and skill of the college game.
Talent Analysis
McBain is a strong offensive defenseman. He has good puck handling skills and a good sense of where the puck needs to be.
Future
McBain announced he is returning for his junior season and will again be looked to for leadership and poise on the Wisconsin back end. Snagging McBain late in the second round of the 2006 draft is looking like a steal for Carolina.
