A Fight & An Assist in Miller's First CHL Game

So how did J.T. Miller react to getting cut by the Rangers yesterday? He when out of his way to make sure he made his CHL debut last night with the Plymouth Whalers.

And he didn’t disappoint, as he finished the game with an assist and a fight to help the Whalers defeat Erie 6-2. Here’s the Plymouth Whalers twitter feed on Miller’s night…

…can the Rangers bring him back please? So impressed with Miller. He could have easily taken his time returning to his CHL team, but instead he makes the extra effort to get there by game time. Can’t wait for him in camp next year.

I also found out that one of Miller’s teammates with Plymouth is former Ranger great Andy Bathgate’s grandson also named Andy.
