MacMillan was a valuable offensive player that rarely got himself in penalty trouble. The Rockies, and later the Devils after the
move, definitely needed help in both departments. He would become the first player in franchise history to score 4 goals in a
game. And of course, the team was still on the heels of the Don Cherry bad boy image.
If anybody knew what he was capable of on the Rockies, it WAS indeed his brother Billy.
He was never able to replicate the 78-79 season he had with the Atlanta Flames, not just with the Rockies and Devils, but for
the rest of his career. That year, he scored 108 points and won the Lady Byng Trophy.
He only played half a season with the Blackhawks. He suffered a shoulder injury that required surgery. He would retire as a
result.
He had gone a lot of good to his home province since his retirement. He first coached a Seniors team. He also attempted a
comeback for the Charlottetown Islanders later in the 80s. And he also served as a provincial legislator in 2002 and 2003.
He owns The Sports Page Club, a sports bar in Charlottestown, currently. An interesting part of the establishment is the
inclusion of the Island Wall of Fame that honors sports greats from PEI.
