He was twice named a first-team All-American. MacDonald took a year off from Harvard in 1987-88 to play for the United States' 1988 Winter Olympics team in Calgary.

MacDonald returned to Harvard as team captain to win the 1989 Hobey Baker Award, given to the top collegiate ice hockey player in the country, and leading the Crimson to the NCAA Championship. After college he played for HC Lugano is the Swiss League before recurring migraine headaches forced him to retire.
