[2] Milroy was an instant success with MTU, finishing second on the team in scoring in his rookie season by a single point behind fellow sophomore Wayne Weller.
MTU opened against a comparably weaker Brown squad and posted the championships first ever shutout victory[3] with Milroy providing a goal and an assist in the game.
BC finally made it onto the scoresheet while Milroy was serving a slashing penalty but the game was well in hand and MTU coasted to a 8–2 victory.
The following season Orillia won 31 of their 40 games and captured their first league title then proceeded to win the OHA playoff and become the eastern finalist for the Allan Cup.
While Milroy's team fell to the Spokane Jets 2–4 in the seven-game series the Terriers would continue to be a power in the OHA for several more years, winning a second regular season title in 1971 and a playoff championship in 1973.
