For Arthur Miller’s next play, he’ll take on the role of a Cougar.

Miller, who played last season with the Power Dodge Estevan Bruins, has made the choice to play at the University of Regina Cougars hockey team after being a member of the Bruins for the last part of the regular season.

He was playing for the Swift Current Broncos of the Western Hockey League until he was released by that team and his junior A rights belonged for the Steinbach Pistons. The Pistons dealt Miller’s rights to Estevan for defenceman Nolan Ferguson and forward Isaac Embree.

Miller scored 21 goals and 18 assists for 39 points during the regular season, and picked up a total of 155 penalty minutes in 40 games.

Miller scored seven goals and eight assists for 15 points in 16 playoff games as the team made their way to Game 7 of the Canalta Cup final against the Nipawin Hawks.

Also signing with the Cougars was former Estevan peewee AA player Brennan Riddle. He played 67 games combined with the Lethbridge Hurricanes and Vancouver Giants this year and scored a goal and 11 assists for 12 points.  Overall in his Western Hockey League career, which started with the Prince Albert Raiders, Riddle five goals and 35 assists for 40 points and 179 penalty minutes in four seasons.
