Millen spent 14 season's as a goalie in the NHL where he dressed up for 6 different organizations including the Pittsburgh Penguins, Hartford Whalers, St. Louis Blues, Quebec Nordiques, Chicago Blackhawks, and Detroit Red Wings.
He amassed over 600 games in the NHL before transitioning broadcasting where he got his foot in the door with the Ottawa Senators during the 1992-1993 inaugural season.
Millen became a well known face and voice of NHL broadcasting, where he really started to shine as a member of CBC's Hockey Night in Canada and Sportsnet's NHL coverage.
Working with legends of the game such as Bob Cole, Don Cherry and Ron MacLean, his respect and reputations spoke volumes of the type of man he was.
On top of all that, Greg earned a master's degree in leadership from the University of Guelph in 2014. He was passionate about developing leadership character, working with the Seattle Kraken, various companies, and teaching leadership at Fleming College in Peterborough.
He also was a well-known voice for the Vancouver Canucks during the early 2000's for Hockey Night in Canada.
His sudden passing comes to the shock of many and he is survived by his wife and 4 kids.
Everyone here at Canucks Daily want to send our deepest sympathies and prayers to the the entire Millen family during this incredibly difficult time.
