Lee Harris was born and raised in Harrow, Ontario Canada where he began his figure skating and hockey career at age three. He quickly excelled in both sports, and by age 17 he was competing internationally for Canada in figure skating and playing Canadian Jr. Hockey.
 
In 2000, Lee moved to Hartford, Connecticut to concentrate on his figure skating career.  He became the 2002 National Jr. Champion and competed in the 2002 Jr. World Championships in Hamar, Norway. Lee retired from the competitive figure skating world in 2006 after many senior international events and 6 national championships. Following his retirement from competitive skating, he toured for five years as a professional figure skater, performing shows on Royal Caribbean cruise ships.
 
While training in Hartford, Lee began coaching skating skills to youth and high school hockey players. With his unique combination of hockey and figure skating skills, he quickly became recognized as a valuable asset to the higher-level organizations, and he began coaching players in the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL).
