Prior to becoming a coach, MacQueen played seven years of professional hockey (1979–86), bouncing between the EHL, IHL, CHL, and the ACHL. MacQueen led his team in goals scored three different times: Johnstown Red Wings (1979–80), Salem Raiders (1981–82), and Virginia Raiders (1982–83).

## Coaching career

He was an assistant coach with the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning from 1996 to 1998.

MacQueen won his 400th OHL game on January 24, 2009, moving him into 10th all time in OHL history

MacQueen was relieved of his General Manager and Head Coach duties from the Sarnia Sting on February 6, 2011, a position he had held since the start of the 2006–07 OHL season.
