In the last EIHC, Lee was a point per game player putting up one goal and two assists over in Poland. Korea was 0-1-2 in that tournament right before the Christmas break.
This season with the Spruce Kings, Lee leads the team in rookie scoring with 15 goals and 21 assists for 36 points in 45 games. Lee has been one of the most consistent Spruce Kings of late with 15 points in the last 13 games.
Lee missed the final two games of the Spruce Kings last road trip, and will not be in service for this week in the team’s final home season game against the West Kelowna Warriors on Thursday February 9th. To thank the volunteers in our city, all fans wearing their green Canada Winter Games volunteer jackets will get into the game for free.
