Joe McLean is a Canadian retired ice hockey center who was an All-American for St. Lawrence. Career In 1953 McLean, along with fellow Ottawa-natives Lee Fornier and Ron O'Brien all agreed to accept scholarships at nearby St. Lawrence University. The three built a tremendous working partnership during their year with the freshman team and when they debuted for the varsity squad in 1954 the trio provided the bulk of the Saints' offense. The sophomores were the top three scorers for the saints with O'Brien leading the team with 58 points.

In the semifinal against Colorado College the young players were held back by a veteran defensive corps and St. Lawrence fell 2–1. In the consolation game the followin ...
