Anders Lee has been named CCHA Player of the Month for October.
The 6'3", 218 pound Lee was the Islanders sixth round selection, 152nd overall in the 2009 NHL entry draft. Lee has contributed greatly in the success of the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. Per Islanders.nhl.com, the Irish are off to a strong start at 5-2 where he has tallied at least one goal in each of the seven games this season. Lee leads both the conference and the nation with 10 and 3 for 13 points, career highs for Lee.
Anders Lee was impressive to read about since being drafted by your New York Islanders. Per Chris Botta, he (Lee) was not sure if he would pursue a career in Football or Hockey. In 2008, then assistant GM, Ryan Jankowski asked him if he would commit to hockey during that year’s draft. While unsure then, he committed to hockey after the Islanders drafted him the following year. He has been an exciting prospect to watch in the Islanders system. He was even better to watch in the Blue and White scrimmage this year at the Coliseum. In my article covering the game found here:

I said, “Isles '09 draftpick, Anders Lee was just as dynamic as he was in the Frozen Four national tournament.” I am watching his progress and looking forward to seeing him in the sacred blue and orange in the near future.
