He collected over 3,000 names to petition the curfew and won. After graduating from McKernan Junior High School, Miller attended Strathcona High School alongside Guy Gadowsky. After graduating from high school, Miller accepted a position as a radio reporter at an Edmonton Oilers home game where he had the opportunity to interview Wayne Gretzky. ==Career==

Miller began working for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in 1984, where he covered the Edmonton Oilers. He joined TSN as a reporter in 1990 and occasionally calling NHL hockey when needed. In 1994, he began doing hockey play-by-play regularly as the lead announcer on the network's Canadian Hockey League coverage, including the Memorial Cup, as well as more frequent NHL assignments. He also covered the IIHF World Championships and Women's World Championships. From 1998 to 2001, he was host of ''That's Hockey'' and then returned to the broadcast booth in 2001 as the English television play-by-play voice of the Montreal Canadiens on TSN's regional feed for one season. In 2002, Miller became TSN's lead hockey play-by-play announcer when it reacquired national broadcast rights to the NHL, teaming up with lead color commentator Pierre McGuire on the lead broadcast team. In 2010, Miller and TSN colleague Chris Cuthbert were selected by Canada's Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium as play-by-play announcers for the men's ice hockey tournament at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Since TSN lost the national contract in 2014 to rival Sportsnet and its parent Rogers Media, he now serves as the lead play-by-play for Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators regional games on TSN and international hockey coverage. In 2022, Miller joined the announcers of NHL on ESPN for the Stanley Cup playoffs. ==Honours and awards==
