THOMAS A. R. MILLER

Condolences & Memories (7 entries)

• I was the first female athletic trainer in the MMJHL with the Canucks in the early 80s. Mr. Miller always made me feel welcome and supported me throughout my various times on the team. I would pop into the arena for games years later when I was in town, and every time he would welcome me like a long lost family member. He was very vocal in his opinions and you always knew where you stood with him. He also had a heart of gold and a wicked sense of humour. My condolences to the family. He will live on in all our memories of him. - Posted by: Corina (Cori) Mark (St. James Canucks team member) on: Feb 15, 2024

• Tom was a passionate hockey advocate. I played one season for the Canucks before crossing the room to join the referees side. He was not pleased, but always had a kind word for the crew as we entered the rink. He had a gruff exterior, but it is a story my mother, Rita, would tell that revealed his softer side. Rita initiated ringette in St. James (Sturgeon Creek) and needed ice time to practice and promote the game. She approached Tom, who was the "keeper" of the rinks in St. James. He provided the teams with sufficient ice times to practice and was a contributor to grow it into the game it is today. While she never said he was easily swayed, he clearly had a vision that gave kids a chance to be active and have a meaningful place in their community. Whether with the Canucks, minor hockey or ringette, his heart was in the right place. - Posted by: Kevin Abrahams (Canuck and MMJHL referee) on: Feb 04, 2024
