After playing college ball at the University of Ottawa, Lee signed as a free agent with the Ottawa Rough Riders in April of 1982. Lee was released before the season started, and then signed with Hamilton the following year in 1983. Lee played 5 seasons with Ottawa (1983-87), mainly as a back-up receiver and punt returner. In 1986, however, Lee got a chance to see more action and responded with a career season, catching 46 passes for 564 yards.
