Following his playing days with the Tigers, he signed with the Kalamazoo Wings and is now in his fourth season of professional hockey.
Saturday, McMillin was named the Most Valuable Player of the Ray Miron President's Cup playoffs after the Americans' game seven, 3-2 overtime victory over Wichita Falls.
