Mike McKay (born September 4, 1976) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player.

McKay played major junior hockey in the QMJHL before attending Saint Mary's University in Nova Scotia.

McKay commenced his professional career with the 1999-2000 New Mexico Scorpions of the Western Professional Hockey League, using the opportunity of a five-game mid-season tryout agreement to impress the team's coach, Tony Martino, into keeping McKay for the remainder of the regular season and playoffs.[1]

McKay went on to play five seasons of professional hockey, including two seasons (2000 to 2002) with the Fort Wayne Komets of the United Hockey League, where he scored 64 goals and 46 assists for 110 points, while earning 132 penalty minutes, in 131 games played. McKay retired following the 2003–04 season during which he played 20 games in the ECHL with the Texas Wildcatters.
