A Thunder original, Magee’s career began with the team prior to it joining USL in 1994. Magee helped guide the team to six championship game appearances during his USL career, winning the USL First Division Championship in 1999 with Magee setting up both goals in the 2-1 victory over Rochester in a rematch of the previous year’s final.

The Thunder were unbeaten at 18-0 in their inaugural USL campaign in 1994, but fell in the championship. The club suffered only one defeat in 20 games the following year as a professional team, but again were unable to win the championship game. Magee led the team in scoring for three consecutive seasons from 1996 to his pinnacle in 1998, ranking third in the league in points (40) and tied for third in goals (15). He earned All-League honors that season.

Buoyed by their run to the final in 1998, Magee helped lead the Thunder to within four points of the regular season title in 1999 and a 6-0 run in the playoffs to capture their first league championship in four attempts. The team’s success, coupled with former General Manager Bill Manning joining Tampa of MLS, led to Magee’s move in 2000 to the Mutiny.

He would return to the club full-time in 2001, instantly inserting himself as a team leader once again, finishing second on the team in points and help the club rebuild for another run for a championship in 2003 that again fell short. He took on a role as player / assistant coach in his final season in 2004 and was later named head coach in 2006 following the retirement of USL Hall of Fame Coach Buzz Lagos.

In his eight seasons in the USL First Division, he registered 37 goals and 22 assists in 150 regular season games. He was inducted into the Wesleyan University Hall of Fame in October and recently led the US Maccabi team to a gold medal as head coach.
