Michael Robert Lundin (born September 24, 1984) is an American professional ice hockey player, who currently plays for EHC Biel of the National League A (NLA). He has previously played in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Ottawa Senators, Minnesota Wild, and Tampa Bay Lightning. He also played in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) for Barys Astana.
Lundin was born in Burnsville, Minnesota, and attended Apple Valley High School (Minnesota) in Apple Valley, Minnesota, where he grew up. He graduated from the University of Maine. Lundin was a finalist for Minnesota Mr. Hockey award and earned All-Conference honors in both hockey and baseball. He was named the 2003 Associated Press’ Minnesota Hockey Player of the Year and Minnesota Star-Tribune Metro Hockey Player of the Year.
Lundin was drafted in the fourth round, 102nd overall selection, by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft.
On July 9, 2011, Lundin signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Minnesota Wild. During the 2011–12 season, due to injury and limited impact Lundin appeared in only 17 games with the wild, registering 2 assists. He also made a brief appearance in rehabilitation for the Wild's AHL affiliate, the Houston Aeros.
On July 1, 2012, Lundin left the Wild organization and signed as a free agent to a one-year deal with the Ottawa Senators. He played in just 11 games with the Senators during the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season, recording a single assist as he battled various injuries.
