Playing career

Selected 137th overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft, McAlpine spent four years competing at the collegiate level with the University of Minnesota. In his senior season, he accumulated 30 points over 36 games. He made his NHL debut in the 1994–95 campaign, dividing his time between the Devils and their AHL team, the Albany River Rats. After approximately one and a half seasons in Albany, he was traded to the St. Louis Blues, where he played the majority of his NHL tenure.

During the 1999–2000 season, McAlpine suited up for three different NHL franchises: the Blues, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Atlanta Thrashers. He subsequently spent two seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks before concluding his NHL playing days with 21 appearances for the Los Angeles Kings in 2002–03.

McAlpine earned a Stanley Cup championship with New Jersey in 1995. Following the 2004–05 season, which he spent with the AHL's Cincinnati Mighty Ducks, he retired from professional hockey. Since retiring, he has been engaged as a player agent based out of Minneapolis.
