Profile Contributed By: HF Staff

History

Lee split his 2006-07 season between Moorhead High School in Minnesota and the USHL’s Waterloo Blackhawks. The younger brother of Brian Lee (OTT), John tallied six goals and 27 assists in 23 games with Moorhead collecting 48 penalty minutes on the way. In 27 USHL games, he put up two goals and seven assists with an even plus/minus.

 

Talent Analysis

The younger Lee is the same height has the elder at 6’2, but has a lot of filling out to do at 173 pounds. He plays a style similar to his brother though, and has also been compared to fellow Florida prospect Derrick Lapoint. That is to say, he skates, passes and handles the puck well, has a good shot, but could still use some work on positional play.

Future

He is committed to the University of Denver in 2008-09.
