Millen's broadcasting journey began following the conclusion of his lengthy NHL career, which spanned more than 600 games.
The former goaltender made stops in Pittsburgh, Hartford, Quebec, Chicago, and Detroit along the way, but played most of his career in St. Louis as a member of the Blues between 1984 and 1990.
Our deepest and most sincere condolences go out to Millen's family, friends, teammates, and co-workers at Sportsnet. He will be sorely missed by the entire hockey community.
