Big hockey news for Peterborough. The city will host the 2026 Telus Cup national U18 men’s championship. For the first time Peterborough will have a team in the event.
It is with heavy hearts we share the sudden passing of Greg Millen today. He played 14 seasons between the pipes in the National Hockey League for six teams: the Pittsburgh Penguins, Hartford Whalers, St. Louis Blues, Quebec Nordiques, Chicago Blackhawks, and Detroit Red Wings. Over his NHL career, Millen appeared in more than 600 regular-season games.
After retiring from professional play, Millen transitioned to broadcasting. He began by covering the Ottawa Senators during their inaugural season in 1992-93. His broadcasting career includes roles as a colour commentator for CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada and the NHL on Sportsnet, where he worked alongside Hockey Night in Canada Greats Bob Cole, Harry Neale, Don Cherry, Ron MacLean and Jim Hughson. Greg worked with our NHL Alumni Executive Director Glenn Healy where both served as analysts and were part of the same Hockey Night in Canada broadcast team.
He was known and loved by all in the broadcasting world! Millen has covered three Olympic Games, two World Cups of Hockey, twelve Stanley Cup finals, and twelve NHL All-Star games.
In 2014, Millen earned a master’s degree in leadership from the University of Guelph. He was involved in leadership character development, working with the Seattle Kraken and various corporations. Additionally, he taught leadership at Fleming College in Peterborough.
Millen is married and has four children.
Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with Greg’s family at this very difficult time.
The derecho in 2022 destroyed a line of my backyard trees except this one.
But on Sunday evening we waited and watched as Mother Nature finally took it down … (and the fence for a second time!)

My neighbourhood has been without hydro since Saturday. Most homes have trees down. Cleanup will take a break with another storm on its way, Wednesday.
