SWIFT CURRENT - An Oxbow hockey product was among those honoured at the induction ceremony for the Ted Knight Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame.
Team Saskatchewan's Under-17 Team that won the gold medal at the 1995 Canada Winter Games was enshrined at the ceremony. Oxbow's Aren Miller was a goaltender on the team.
It's the only time Saskatchewan has won gold in male hockey at the Canada Winter Games.
Miller was one of several members from Team Saskatchewan who attended the ceremony Friday evening at the InnovationPlex in Swift Current.
The other honoured inductees on Friday were players Patrick Marleau, Cory Sarich, Travis Moen and Jack Norris; grassroots inductee Tim Tisdale, official Brad Meier, and the 2016, 2018 and 2019 Kyle Elks senior hockey team.
Marleau and Sarich were also part of the Canada Winter Games squad.
After winning gold at the Canada Winter Games, Miller spent three seasons with the Spokane Chiefs of the Western Hockey League, and was selected in the second round, 52nd overall, by the Detroit Red Wings in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft. He played professional hockey for several years before returning home to southeast Saskatchewan.
He has been an assistant coach with the Estevan Bruins of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League more than a decade, and has also coached minor hockey at various levels, most recently with the Estevan Apex U18 AA Bruins.
