Through four years in a Bears uniform, Lee recorded 115 points (41g, 74a), guided the Bears to a SUNYAC Finals appearance and became the program's fifth All-American. His experience at Potsdam and immense talent then propelled him into the professional ranks. Numerous members of Potsdam's hockey program have reached the pros, but none have achieved the success and reached the heights Lee attained in his career.
