Mike McLellan (born September 4, 1981 in Toronto, Ontario) is an indoor lacrosse player for the Edmonton Rush in the National Lacrosse League and an outdoor lacrosse player formerly of the Hamilton Nationals of Major League Lacrosse. Nicknamed "The Maestro", he played college lacrosse at Mercyhurst College and was named a two-time Division II All-American.[1]

McLellan was drafted in the 2nd round (14th overall) by the Edmonton Rush in the 2005 NLL Entry Draft, and was immediately traded to the Arizona Sting. The following year McLellan was acquired by the New York Titans in the 2006 NLL Expansion Draft.[2]

In week 14 of the 2007 NLL season, McLellan was awarded Rookie of the Week honors.[1]

On August 6, 2010, McLellan was selected by the Toronto Rock in the NLL Dispersal Draft of Orlando Titans players. He was then released by the Rock and picked up by the Colorado Mammoth.[3] At the trade deadline, McLellan was moved again, this time to the Edmonton Rush as part of the deal bringing Gavin Prout back to Colorado.[4]

McLellan is currently the Assistant Redbelt coach for St. Louis Samurai lacrosse.
