Miller never got a chance to show his skills with the Nordiques however, spending a few seasons with a handful of minor league teams.
In 1985, the 6'2 left winger signed as a free agent with the Boston Bruins and made the team that year as their enforcer.
His role continued to expand with the Boston Bruins, playing in 78 games during the 1987–88 regular season and racking up 304 penalty minutes - both career highs.
That year in the playoffs, Miller was a regular on the Bruins' squad playing in 12 games and picking up 124 minutes in penalties.
He retired from professional hockey in 1992, having played 446 career NHL regular season games with 1723 penalty minutes.
