Career

MacLean played three years from 1981 to 1984 with the Oshawa Generals in the Ontario Hockey League . After the Generals had won the J. Ross Robertson Cup in 1983 , and thus the championship of the OHL, the club reached the Memorial Cup finals. MacLean had a significant part in this with his 47 goals this season, and they helped ensure that he was selected in the first round in the 1983 NHL Entry Draft by the New Jersey Devils in sixth position.

After the Canadian had played in the 1983/84 season in Oshawa and at the Junior World Championship , he also played 23 games for the Devils in the NHL. There the winger developed into a fixture in the squad of the New Jersey team until the 1997/98 season . MacLean was elected to the squad for the NHL All-Star Game twice . He succeeded in doing this in the 1988/89 and 1990/91 seasons . He missed the 1991/92 season completely after knee surgery and in the 1994/95 season he was able to win the prestigious Stanley Cup with the Devils . He also holds various franchise records.

MacLean's time with the Devils ended in December 1997 when he was given up with Ken Sutton for Dody Wood and Douglas Bodger to the San Jose Sharks . However, he left the Sharks at the end of the season, as he signed a contract with the New York Rangers as a free agent . After another move to the Dallas Stars in the 2000/01 season , MacLean played there until the end of the season. After that, he stayed out for a while and only renewed his contract with the Stars in February 2002. He only played 20 games in the season and then officially ended his career on July 7, 2002.

For the 2002/03 season , on September 29, 2002, his ex-team, the New Jersey Devils, hired him as an assistant coach. He held this position until July 2009. During this time he won his second Stanley Cup in 2003 and was considered a promising candidate for the vacant head coach position of the Devils in 2007, which Brent Sutter later received. After Sutter made his post available in June 2009, MacLean found himself again in the role of the candidate for the post. When Jacques Lemaire was preferred to him, however, MacLean let himself be the head coach of the Lowell Devils , the then New Jersey farm team, on July 13, 2009 . With these he reached the playoffs straight away in the 2009/10 season , but failed in the first round in five games at the Worcester Sharks . On June 17, 2010, he was named head coach of the New Jersey Devils after Lemaire resigned in May. After 33 games, he was released from his duties on December 23, 2010 after the Devils had only won nine games. In early December 2011, MacLean was hired as an assistant coach with the Carolina Hurricanes .

After the 2013/14 season he was dismissed along with head coach Kirk Muller . For the 2017/18 season, the Arizona Coyotes signed him as the new assistant to head coach Rick Tocchet .
