Defenseman Lee ‘excited to get started’ as a pro

Cam Lee didn't expect his college career to end when it did.

Or how it did, for that matter.

But while his final season as a defenseman at Western Michigan came to an abrupt conclusion after the NCAA canceled all winter sports tournaments, conference and national, because of the coronavirus pandemic, Lee at least had the consolation of leaving the college game on a lofty note: He had a career-high five assists in a 8-4 victory against Miami (Ohio) March 7.

Lee had set up as many as two goals just twice in the Broncos' previous 25 games during the 2019-20 season.
