Timeline
William Stewart MacMillan (March 7, 1943 – July 14, 2023) was a Canadian hockey coach and player.
MacMillan played and later coached in the National Hockey League (NHL).
MacMillan was born on March 7, 1943, in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island (PEI), where he grew up and excelled at a variety of sports, including hockey, rugby, and track.
He left home as a teenager for the more fertile hockey ground of Ontario.
He appeared in three Memorial Cup tournaments with the powerful St. Michael's Majors junior team.
He spent most of the years from 1965 to 1970 playing for the Canadian national team.
With the national team MacMillan played in several Ice Hockey World Championships, winning the bronze medal in 1966 and 1967, and at the 1968 Winter Olympics, also winning a bronze.
After several years with the Canada national team, including playing at two World Championships and the 1968 Winter Olympics, winning a bronze medal, MacMillan made his NHL debut in 1970 with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
He later played university hockey at Saint Dunstan's University (which later became the University of Prince Edward Island through a merger in 1969), after returning to Prince Edward Island to complete his academic studies.
He subsequently appeared in various minor leagues.
He played for Toronto, the Atlanta Flames, and New York Islanders between 1970 and 1977, and retired from playing in 1978.
A powerful body checker and solid defensive forward, MacMillan made his NHL debut on October 11, 1970, with the Toronto Maple Leafs, aged 27, becoming only the fifth player from Prince Edward Island to make an NHL roster.
He scored a surprising 22 goals as a rookie with the Maple Leafs, but saw his playing time reduced the next season.
He was selected in the 1972 expansion draft by the Atlanta Flames, playing in a checking role with the team during its inaugural season.
He was then traded to the New York Islanders, where he played for an additional four years.
After failing to make the NHL roster in 1977, he played one year with the Fort Worth Texans before retiring.
As a player-coach, MacMillan led the Fort Worth Texans to the Central Hockey League (CHL) championship, garnering the Jake Milford Trophy, the league's Coach of the Year award, for the 1977–78 season; he moved into full-time coaching afterwards.
He became a coach during his final year, spent in the minor CHL and moved to the NHL in 1979 when he became an assistant coach for the Islanders.
After one more season in the CHL, he was promoted to become an assistant coach by Al Arbour with the New York Islanders, the Texans' parent club in the NHL, for the 1979–80 season, and he helped lead this franchise to its first Stanley Cup championship.
The following season, he was hired by the Colorado Rockies to serve a dual role as general manager and head coach.
He was named the head coach of the Colorado Rockies in 1980, also serving as general manager the next season.
MacMillan stayed with the team as they relocated in 1982 to become the New Jersey Devils, and was let go early in the 1983–84 season.
After one season, he was relieved of his coaching duties, but after the team moved and became the New Jersey Devils in 1982, he returned to a capacity behind the bench.
He was fired 20 games into the following season.
In 1985, MacMillan was inducted into the PEI Sports Hall of Fame.
He then returned home in Prince Edward Island and coached the UPEI Panthers for many years; in 1991, he guided the team to a conference title and a berth in the CIAU University Cup Final Four.
In 2017, he was again enshrined in the PEI Sports Hall of Fame as a member of the 1964–65 Saint Dunstan's Saints, which he led as the MVP that season.
MacMillan died on July 14, 2023, at the age of 80 in Charlottetown.
