MacLean played his junior career with the Kingston Frontenacs of the OHL. After being skipped over in the NHL Entry Draft, MacLean signed his first professional contract with the ECHL's Jacksonville Lizard Kings in 1997. He played two partial seasons with Jacksonville while also playing games in the AHL and the now defunct IHL.
After signing with the Trenton Titans in 1999 MacLean spent most of the remainder of his career with the ECHL, seeing two full seasons of AHL action with the Hershey Bears (2002–03) and the Bridgeport Sound Tigers (2003–04). He served as the Titans' team captain and led them to the 2001 Kelly Cup finals, where they lost to the South Carolina Stingrays 4 games to 1.[1]
He signed with the Reading Royals in 2004, and spent one season on the team. In 2005 he signed with the South Carolina Stingrays and was named team captain a year later.[2] MacLean spent the remainder of his professional career with the Stingrays, leading them to the 2007–08 American Conference finals where they were bested by the Cincinnati Cyclones 4 games to 1.
In 2008, MacLean announced his retirement from professional hockey and was named the assistant coach of the Stingrays soon after.[3] He helped lead the Stingrays to the Kelly Cup championship in 2009.
After head coach Jared Bednar stepped down in 2009, MacLean was named the head coach of the team.[4] He spent two seasons (2009–10 and 2010–11) with the Stingrays as head coach before accepting an assistant coaching position with the AHL's Abbotsford Heat in July 2011. MacLean led the Stingrays to two Kelly Cup playoff appearances and an 78-48-18 record during his tenure as head coach.[1] While with the Stingrays, MacLean was selected as the American Conference coach for the 2010 ECHL All-Star Game and was recognized as the runner-up for the ECHL's 2009–10 John Brophy Award.[5][6]
MacLean replaced Troy Ward as Abbotsford's assistant coach. Ward was named the Heat's head coach in June 2011, leaving the assistant coach position vacant.[7] MacLean previously played for Ward when Ward was the head coach for the ECHL's Trenton Titans.[1]
