ACQUIRED:

2009 Entry Draft (3rd Round, 60th overall)

Mike Lee is currently splitting the netminding duties at SCSU with another Timberwolves prospect in Dan Dunn ('07 draftee, 7th Round, 149th overall). As a freshman, Lee is transitioning nicely to the NCAA game after a successful season last year for the 1st-year Fargo Force of the USHL. Success seems to follow this kid around. Prior to the USHL, Lee played for a very talented squad with the Minnesota-renowned, Roseau Rams. Backstopping them all the way to the tournament in St. Paul. Lee's connection to the Timberwolves goes beyond sharing the crease with Dunn. His teammates at Roseau were Aaron Ness (THU '08 2nd Rd, 31st) and Nick Oliver (THU '09 5th, 91st). He also played with Oliver at Fargo along with Josh Birkholz (THU '09 4th, 68th).

>>>"Lee is an superior goalie," said Timberwolves GM, Blake Wendt. "Success has followed him, or he has lead to it, at every level he's played at. Goalies are so hard to figure out in terms of knowing if they will end up being a decent pro guy. I firmly believe that along with a strong mental make-up, which Lee has. Having progressive success and meeting and exceeding expectations every year shows what kind of future you will have. We've had an eye on Mike since we started watching Aaron Ness at Roseau. He took a club in their inaugural year in Fargo all the way to the USHL finals. And he's looking very solid at St. Cloud with our other guy Dan Dunn. We're pleased with the way he has progressed."
