Alan McLean is a Canadian retired ice hockey Center who was an All-American for North Dakota[1] and was the Most Outstanding Player of the 1963 NCAA Tournament.
McLean led a fairly weak Fighting Sioux squad in goals (19), assists (19) and points (38) but the team finished 5th in the WCHA and was left out of the conference tournament.
The fighting Sioux swept aside defending national champion Michigan Tech in the semifinal and, though they fell to the Pioneers in the final, UND had already earned a bid to the 1963 NCAA Tournament.
McLean scored his second goal of the game 5 minutes into the second and then the team held on for dear life as Denver attempted to erase the Sighting Sioux's advantage.
McLean left UND after the season to play for the Canadian National Team and traveled to the 1964 Winter Olympic Games in Innsbruck, Austria but did not see ice time due to an injury.
