Anders Lee's story
Growing up in Edina, Minnesota, Anders Lee split his youth between multiple sports before hockey became his main focus. At Saint Thomas Academy and later Edina High School he excelled as both a football quarterback and a hockey forward, earning the 2008 Minnesota Gatorade Football Player of the Year award and finishing among the state’s top high school hockey scorers.
Selected by the New York Islanders in the sixth round, 151st overall, of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, Lee spent a season in the USHL with the Green Bay Gamblers before moving on to Notre Dame. At Notre Dame he produced consistently over three college seasons, finishing near the top of the scoring charts and helping the program reach the Frozen Four during his freshman year.
Lee signed his first NHL contract with the Islanders in April 2013 and scored on his first NHL shot the next day. After time with AHL affiliate Bridgeport, he established himself in New York, developing into a reliable offensive presence and eventually being named the Islanders’ captain in 2018. He signed a seven-year, $49 million deal effective in 2019. His pro career features notable goal-scoring seasons, a first NHL hat-trick in March 2022, and also includes significant injuries that required surgery, causing him to miss extended action.
Internationally, Lee has worn the USA jersey at the IIHF World Championships in 2015, 2017 and 2018. Individual recognition has followed his leadership role in New York: he earned the Bob Nystrom Award for dedication and hustle and was nominated for the King Clancy Memorial Trophy in 2018.
In plain terms, Lee’s game is defined by goal scoring and leadership. He has been a primary offensive weapon for his NHL club, assumed the captaincy, and collected awards that reflect both his production on the scoreboard and his commitment to the team. In July 2026 he signed a three-year contract with the Utah Mammoth, marking the next chapter of his career.
